Meet Tom Gates. When his teachers don’t have their beady eyes on him; he likes to draw pictures and write about stuff. Tom’s teachers think he is easily distracted and “lacks focus;” but that’s a bit harsh—can he help it if his grumpy big sister; Delia; made him late for school (again); or that last night’s homework had to be sacrificed to stave off a vicious dog attack? Master of excuses; creative storyteller; and middle-school comedian extraordinaire; Tom Gates is guaranteed to get kids turning the pages—and keep them laughing.
