L. Pichon says that when she was little, she loved to draw, and her mom said she was very good at making a mess (this is still true today). She kept drawing, went to art school, became a designer and art director at Jive Records, and began to publish children’s books. After its publication in the U.K., The Brilliant World of Tom Gates won several prestigious awards, including the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the Waterstone’s Children’s Book Prize, and the Blue Peter Book Award. L. Pichon lives in Brighton, England, with her family.
I have always loved the Tom Gates books and this carries on that. It is a very entertaining book with the numerous drawings and the stories told are immaculate and extremely relatable. I would definitely recommend this book to young readers out there.
Tom needs to get the ARTBOX OF HIS DREAMS, so he’s doing tons of boring chores , from car washing which made his back to ache , to washing the clothes( he accidentally shrunk his sister Delia’s cloths) , he goes on making trouble .But when a bad storm destroys their school library ad Marcus(the annoying frenemy of Tom )s cat goes missing ,it’s up to tom to save the day! This was a convivial book , and I loved it !The doodles just made it even better!My favourite part is when toms pants get stuck on the tree .The book was pretty awesome!
I like this book because it has information and cool things I can do. Tom's friend Dereck is his best friends and Tom's friend Normen is silly and speak funny jokes. You know that his friends all help to raise moneys for Toms dream THE ART BOX.
Dereck almost always help Tom because it his friend obviously and Tom's sister Delia sometimes she is kind.
This book has narratives like resolution, tense and setting which I like.
This book is one of my favourites it’s such a funny one and number two. I like the bit where the art book is and that’s so funny that the art book the art show for whatever it was yeah so it’s a really really good book and the author who made it well done for fasting and all of that so yeah it’s brilliant book.
Every page is new. Amazing as always. If I was in his place I would have wanted the Art Box as well. I love how no matter how hard he tries, Tom leaves chaos behind. The storm was like him in that way.
