Tom Gates Yes! No. (Maybe)

The eighth book in the bestselling Tom Gates series of books from the brilliantly talented Liz Pichon.

Sometimes making up my mind isn’t easy to do.

Especially when my grumpy sister Delia is LOOMING over me.

Mum’s on a mission to TIDY UP the whole house.

She says if I can’t decide what to get rid of, she’ll do it for me.

Which would be a DISASTER!

Lucky for me, The FOSSILS come to my rescue (more than once!)

Tom Gates isn’t exactly famous for being the hardest worker in class—unless you count the effort he puts into dodging homework, perfecting his doodles, or protecting his secret stash of snacks from Delia, his permanently moody older sister. But this time, “work” comes knocking whether he likes it or not.

At home, Mum has decided it’s time for a huge clear-out and car boot sale, which quickly spirals into a comedy of disasters. At school, an enterprise challenge means every group must dream up something to make and sell for profit. Tom’s ideas might be brilliant (well, in his opinion), but between clashing teammates, melted chocolate, and way too much glitter, things don’t exactly go to plan.

Still, even when the chaos piles up, Tom’s enthusiasm and imagination never run out of steam. His doodle-filled diary captures every joke, disaster, and clever comeback with the creativity that’s made his world so much fun to visit. Yes! No. (Maybe…) is another riot of family mayhem, school silliness, and Tom’s surprisingly determined attempts to make everything turn out (mostly) OK.
