Description
Exciting News! Mr Fullerman announces that class 5F are going on an 'Activity Break'! 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!

I received this from Penguin and LibraryThing Early Reviewers group. I had previously read the first book in this series. Engaging illustrations accentuate a humorous story about a young, forgetful, but imaginative young boy. There was a lot more "substance" to this addition to the Tom Gates story.

Our kids love these books. The author is English. Hence, "scoffing" is similar to our "scarfing" food. This is a great book for a reluctant reader or a reader trying to cross from graphic novels to more "wordy" books. Show Less

The cover of the book is adorable and its really colorful. Had tons of fun getting to know Tom and his friend. It's a beautifully written book and an easy read with pictures and doodles on every page.

The fun illustrations made this one a winner for the eight year old niece. She's read one or two of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books and I think this would be great for fans of that series. It's a great transition from picture books to chapter books.

This book was read by my sons. Both of them enjoyed the storyline and finished it in a couple of days (it was engaging). They particularly enjoyed the main character. Definitely a series worth checking out at the library.
