But that permission slip? It’s really important and he’s going to need to remember it if he’s going on the class trip. He doesn’t like getting up early for school, he can’t seem to remember his permission slips, but he’s great at art and writing stories. Tom Gates is your average kid doing kid things-just some things he does better than others. This is such a fun and engaging story with characters that every kid can relate to. I won a complimentary copy through Library Thing and found this book so fitting for the intended audience that I wanted to leave my honest thoughts. I recommend this book to especially middle grade boys who love a little fun because they will definitely find it here. The story is there, and it is funny, but without these doodles, it wouldn't be anything exceptionally special. The book might seem thick, but it's perfect for reluctant readers who aren't thrilled by seas of words. Not a sentence goes by without a funny, scribbled edition.one that adds snorts and giggles along the way. Of course, the heaps and mounds of small and large doodles and illustrations are probably the key factor in these pages. After all, many kids have the exact same thoughts even if they don't say it. The author brings even the smallest things into a new light thanks to Tom, one that ensures giggles and chuckles. It takes a heavy several chapters before Tom's trip gets underway but anticipation is always half the fun. This is not a fast-paced book into adventure, but rather humor with spice. And while all of it seems dramatic at times, it's Tom's very honest, uncensored thoughts, which make it a hilarious read. The situations he runs into come from daily life and reflect those which average kids will face. He's a nice guy and simply tries to get through the chaos called life as best he can, which makes him easy to relate to. Tom is pretty normal for his age, and his mind wanders everywhere but in the responsible direction. While a few nice messages are wrapped up in this tale, the book centers around one thing-silly fun.
But once the bus is underway, he's in for anything but a boring adventure. But after a lot of effort and even more forgetting, he finally gets his form in and snags a spot thanks to a cancellation. The daily school drama doesn't help things either. His sister, Delia, is a pain, his grandparents sweet but odd, and his own parents.well, let's not even go there. Tom forgot to get his form filled out for the three day school trip, but with everything going on in his life, that isn't surprising. With random thoughts in the ridiculousness of every day adventure, this is a fun tale with tons of illustrations and zest.
