Tom Gates is Ha! Ha! Hilarious: Tom Gates, Book 23

by Liz Pichon

Tom Gates is Ha! Ha! HILARIOUS! He's created a brand new comic Ants in Pants to make everyone (even Delia) laugh. Inspiration for his new comic is everywhere! There's Mr Keen's unicycle mishap and their NEW supply teacher Miss Jam (whose first name is NOT Strawberry or Traffic – but it should be). Class 5F LOVE Miss Jam's lessons. Mr Fullerman, not so much.

BUT when Tom's comic falls into the wrong hands, everything starts to go wrong. HOW will he get himself out of this MESS? How will he make everyone laugh again? Will Marcus help him out? Hmmm ... maybe.

Tom is drawing about his family. A jar of chocolate spread was eaten. Tom took the blame. Delia blamed him while there was someone else who was guilty. The teacher Mr Keen has a sport-related injury and the substitute teacher Ms Jam is here. She is fun and has balloon rockets to study science. There is another kid Amy who draws on the wall with chalks. Tom was a bit jealous of the attention she got. He continued drawing his comic.

It is a series of events. I like it as it takes on the perspective of a kid who likes to draw and wants his friends' attention. He also wants to get the reading companion and lost it because of his dog. It was a fun read. 

4.5 stars.

OMG the joy I had reading this book. IT was AMAZING. The illustrations and the authors style of writing wad just chefs kiss. When I had read the book for the first time, I IMMEDIATELY fell in love with it. It was so much fun and after when I’ve read it I wanted the whole series of it. But the sad thing is I finished it😢. I would TOTALLy recommend to the people who love humour and funny.

I liked how he had so much problems but he still was able to fix them (or most of them)
