Tom Gates is the master of excuses for late homework:
dog attacks & spilt water & lightning...
Tom's exercise book is full of his doodles, cartoons and thoughts,
as well as comments from his long-suffering teacher, Mr Fullerton.
After gaining five merits for his
holiday story, Tom's work starts to go downhill -
which is a pity, as he's desperate to impress Amy Porter, who
sits next to him...
