Tom Gates est toujours en retard à l'école et n'a pas son pareil pour inventer des excuses farfelues quand il n'a pas fait ses devoirs... Ce qui arrive très souvent ! Il faut dire qu'il a d'autres chats à fouetter : trouver de nouvelles façons d'embêter sa soeur Delia, lire des bandes dessinées, gribouiller dans ses cahiers, monter son groupe de musique pop... Sauf que son instituteur, Monsieur Fullerman, ne l'entend pas de cette oreille : puisque Tom est si distrait, il s'installera au premier rang, entre l'insupportable Marcus et la jolie Amy... À travers son journal, Tom Gates raconte son quotidien : sa vie d'écolier, sa vie de famille, ses vacances en camping... avec beaucoup d'humour et plein de petits dessins ! Prix "ROALD DAHL " du meilleur roman humoristique pour la jeunesse en 2011.

- 2Em dic Tom Gates i m’he proposat aconseguir més ESTRELLES que ningú al quadre de punts del meu profesor, el senyor Fullerman, però no ho tinc GENS fàcil! Això és per tres motius: 1. El Marcus és un trampós que sempre em busca les pessigolles. 2. El queixal em fa TANT de mal que NO puc concentrar-me ni per fer gargots durant la classe. 3. Tinc altres coses importants que fer, com ara NEDAR, caçar cuques i, sobretot, empipar la meva germana DÈLIA, que és una cosa que sempre m’anima. 
- 3Back to school, but it's not all bad. We're entering Rooster in a dog show, the School Disco and my birthday are coming up so this term's going to be amazing! Mostly because Delia's not invited to any of these. There's only one small problem with my birthday, Granny Mavis says she's going to cook . . . uh oh!

 Seeing Delia without her sunglasses on is a BIG shock, but that's nothing compared with the surprise Dad has in store for me with his new found fitness regime. He says he's going to compete aty Sport's Day. Shame! Meanwhile Derek, Norman and I keep practicing in DOGZOMBIES so we're really ready for the school Talent Show.

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!"

TIPS FOR BEING TOP OF THE CLASS (Sadly...I did NONE of these things.) 1. Stay awake in lessons (it helps.) 2. Don't draw HILARIOUS pictures of your teachers. 3. AVOID the class bully to stay out of trouble. 4. Don't let Mum and Dad write ANYTHING in your school planner. 5. Don't let your grumpy sister Delia BOSS you around. (Technically not a school issue - but still important.) I'm TRYING to get voted onto the school council as well - but thanks to the ABOVE list it's not exactly going to plan.

Make a spectacular music video. (easy.) 3. Get some sleep. (tricky when you're being kept awake by loud noises.) 4. Annoy Delia. (nothing to do with Dogzombies but always fun).

 - This is crammed with Tom's stories and doodles. "It's BOOK WEEK in Oakfield school and EVERYONE is very excited. Including all the teachers, who are making costumes of their own. Mr Keen says there's an EXCELLENT prize on offer for BEST costumes worn on BOOK DAY. So suddenly making a good costume is VITALLY important, but tricky and Delia's not much help (as usual). Then Marcus decides that HE is a super hero and can't understand why 'Super Marcus' isn't the best name."
