The Brilliant World of Tom Gates

Tom Gates is a creative and humorous middle-school student known for his imaginative excuses for being late and his doodle-filled exercise book. As he navigates school life, he aims to impress his classmate Amy Porter and score tickets to see his favorite band, Dude3. Tom's life is filled with humorous mishaps and excuses, from dog attacks to sibling rivalry with his sister, Delia. With a mix of doodles, stories, and the quest to avoid the annoying Marcus Meldrew, Tom's adventures are relatable and entertaining, drawing parallels to Jeff Kinney's Greg Heffley.
