Young readers love this quirky, funny, highly-illustrated, fiction series which follows life’s ups and downs of the chaotic but loveable Tom, Delia, his old sister, his parents, his best friend Derek and his arch enemy, Marcus. Written by award-winning author and illustrator Liz Pichon, Tom is a master of excuses (especially when it comes to homework), creative storyteller and doodler and middle-school comedian extraordinaire.
There are now more than 25 books in the Tom Gates series with 21 books in the main series and a variety of activity books to support the series. And in terms of an age recommendation, I think these are great books for ages 8+ and if you want to start at the beginning, the first Tom Gates book is The Brilliant World of Tom Gates, which was first published in 2011.
