"From Tom: TIPS FOR BEING TOP OF THE CLASS (Sadly...I did NONE of these things.) 1. Stay awake in lessons (it helps.) -- 2. Don't draw HILARIOUS pictures of your teachers. -- 3. AVOID the class bully to stay out of trouble. -- 4. Don't let Mum and Dad write ANYTHING in your school planner. -- 5. Don't let your grumpy sister Delia BOSS you around. (Technically not a school issue - but still important.) -- I'm TRYING to get voted onto the school council as well - but thanks to the ABOVE list it's not exactly going to plan. This ninth story in the award-winning Tom Gates series is packed with cheeky antics and hilarious doodles! Plus: a doodle-filled glossary that will help Canadian kids make sense of British terms (what IS a caramel wafer, anyway?)."--publisher.
