What is Tom Gates Happy To Help about?

Tom Gates is brilliant at drawing, making excuses and getting into trouble. His exercise book is packed with doodles, cartoons and thoughts about school, annoying classmates and his grumpy sister, Delia. When Tom’s homework is ruined and his plans to impress Amy Porter begin to go wrong, he must rely on his imagination and quick thinking. Told through Tom’s funny illustrated diary, this lively story follows his everyday mishaps, creative schemes and attempts to survive school without getting caught.
