What is Family, Friends and Furry Creatures about?

Tom Gates’s class is given a family-tree project, and Tom is not sure where to begin. As he investigates the Gates family, he uncovers surprising facts about his relatives, friends and a rather mysterious furry creature. Meanwhile, an odd squeaking sound is coming from his shoes, causing plenty of trouble. Told through Tom’s doodles, lists and funny observations, this illustrated diary follows his attempts to complete the project while dealing with school, family and the usual mix of mishaps.
