Excellent Excuses (And Other Good Stuff) by Tom Gates
The second title in the bestselling series from the brilliantly talented Liz Pichon.
No school for two whole weeks! (Yeah!)I can forget ALL about lessons (and irritating things like Marcus Meldrew).
And concentrate on good stuff like:
Inventing new ways to annoy my sister Delia. (So many).
Band practice for DOGZOMBIES (with my mate Derek).
Watching TV and eating caramel wafers.
Eating caramel wafers and watching TV.
Excellent.
Unfortunately a couple of small problems called the dentist and my big weirdo sister, Delia, seem to be getting in the way of my BRILLIANT plans . . . -
Tom Gates is Absolutely Fantastic (at some things)
This takes the form of Tom’s battered homework diary – crammed with his doodles and stories. “Exciting News! Mr Fullerman announces that class 5F are going on an ‘Activity Break’! Which should be fun. As long as I don’t get stuck in a group with anyone who snores or worse still with . . . . . . Marcus Meldrew. Delia is already threatening to paint my room funny colours while I’m away. Which is annoying. I just hope the only surprise I have when I get home is the new pet that I hear Mum and Dad talking about. Because I’ve always wanted a pet!”

Everything’s Amazing (sort of) (Tom Gates)
Back to school, but it’s not all bad. Sports Day, the school fair and Tom’s birthday are all coming up. And even better, his awful big sister Delia won’t be at any of those events! On the downside, Granny Mavis is threatening to make his birthday cake – uh oh! But on the other hand, Mr Keen has asked Dogzombies to perform in front of the whole school! YEAH! Maybe they can even play at the school disco too. How can the term turn out any less than seriously amazing?

Mini Classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass
Brilliantly odd, highly inventive and very funny, Mini Classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass follow a little girl through topsy-turvy worlds where – to her great dismay – nothing happens as one might expect it to.
Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, born in Cheshire, England, on 27 January 1832. The son of a clergyman, Charles was the eldest boy of eleven children, so he became good at drawing pictures and inventing games, stories and poems to entertain his siblings. On a rowing boat trip one day, Charles made up a story for three children – ten-year-old Alice begged him to write it down. This became Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1865. The sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, was published in 1871.
