Tom Gates Spectacular School Trip (really…)

The seventeenth laugh-out-loud, fully illustrated Tom Gates adventure!

Tom’s doing everything possible to stay out of trouble but somehow he’s got

THREE sad faces :( :( :(

on the school achievement chart!

And getting another sad face means Mr Fullerman won’t let him go on the

SCHOOL TRIP!

Moany Marcus Meldrew is making things worse and now Tom’s annoyed his grumpy sister Delia.

Can his best friend Derek help?

Will Rooster the dog stop eating his homework?

Tom Gates is beyond excited — the class is going on a school trip! A few nights away with his friends, no homework, and loads of snacks? What could possibly go wrong? (Answer: quite a lot.)

Mr Fullerman’s idea of “educational fun” turns out to involve muddy walks, dodgy bunk beds, and far too many rules. Marcus Meldrew’s bragging doesn’t help either, and Tom’s mission to make DogZombies a campfire hit soon faces disaster. Still, armed with doodles, biscuits, and boundless optimism, Tom’s determined to make the trip one to remember — for all the right (and wrong) reasons.

With camping chaos, laugh-out-loud moments, and Tom’s hilarious diary notes, Spectacular School Trip (Really…) proves that even when things go wrong, adventure’s never far away when Tom’s around.
