This book is about a boy called Tom Gates and is part of a series about him and his adventures.
Tom Gates lives with his mum and dad and his older sister, Delia, who works in a restaurant. In this story, Tom's going to go on his school activity trip, but he keeps forgetting his form. Other important characters were Tom's friend Derek, and Tom's teacher, Mr Fullerman, who has big eyes like an owl. I liked Tom's drawings of Mr Fullerman.
My favourite character was Tom because he was funny, but I also liked Delia when she was annoying Tom – that really made me laugh.
Tom does doodles in his school book of monsters and aliens, and these pictures are all through the story, which I thought made the book look really cool.
I think this book was really brilliant, it was so funny, and the drawings were really good. I would definitely like to read the other books in this series! 5 stars
