Book Description
The top-selling U.K. series for middle-grade readers now crosses the pond Meet Tom Gates. When his teachers don't have their beady eyes on him, he likes to draw pictures and write about stuff, like last summer's worst camping vacation ever (five merits ), or how much he hates sitting next to nosy Marcus Meldrew, the most annoying boy at school. All Tom really wants is to score tickets to see the best band ever, Dude3, when they come to town, and to impress Amy Porter, who is very nice and smart (but is currently ignoring him). Tom's teachers think he is easily distracted and "lacks focus," but that's a bit harsh -- can he help it if his grumpy big sister, Delia, made him late for school (again), or that last night's homework had to be sacrificed to stave off a vicious dog attack? Master of excuses, creative storyteller, and middle-school comedian extraordinaire, Tom Gates is guaranteed to get kids turning the pages -- and keep them laughing.

Goodnight Mister Tom
Author: Michelle Magorian
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141964529
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Puffin Classics: the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child. Tom tucked a blanket round him, drew up a chair by the fire and watched Willie fall asleep. The tales he had heard about evacuees didn't seem to fit Willie. 'Ungrateful' and 'wild' were the adjectives he had heard used, or just plain 'homesick'. He was quite unprepared for this timid, sickly little specimen. Britain, 1940. With World War Two raging all around, young children are being sent from their homes in the city to the countryside for safety. When eight-year-old Willie Beech first arrives on Tom Oakley's doorstep, neither are quite sure what to make of each another. Brought up in terrible poverty, Willie is terribly shy, and totally unprepared for village life - but the gruff-but-gentle 'Mister Tom' quickly takes him under his wing. Neither he nor Willie could ever have predicted the journey they will go on together - nor the unbreakable bond that will be formed. Winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, and rightly hailed as a true classic of children's literature, Goodnight Mister Tom is a beautifully told, deeply moving story about the power of friendship, kindness, hope - and love. 'Everyone's idea of a smash-hit novel: full-blown characters to love and hate, moments of grief and joy, and a marvellous story that knows just how to grab the emotions' - Guardian

Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Robert Olsen is a freelance designer based in Cheltenham. He also runs an online gallery,"The Fine Art of Fishing," where limited edition prints of his illustration and photographic work are displayed. This is his first book. Tom's Book is a personal project - written, illustrated and beautifully designed solely for his son. Those who have seen it have finally persuaded him to open it up to a wider audience. Consisting of 21 chapters, each is illustrated with a full page drawing and chapter heads in pen and ink. It is a very personal view of fishing involving friends, barbel, grayling, chub and salmon from the Wye valley, carp and tench from hidden pools, trout from streams, crazy thoughts, fun and a meeting with Bernard Venables that brought his childhood fishing full circle. Robert Olsen is a freelance artist whose work over the years has appeared in many publications including Trout & Salmon magazine. In association with John Bailey, he has illustrated several fishing books for New Holland and Collins Willow. The BBC's Tales from the River Bank (which he also designed) and the award winning Trout at Ten Thousand Feet are particular favourites. Through Tom's Book he has brought together his love for water, the written word, typography and illustration into a single volume. Rob has recently completed illustrations for "Fishing In the Footsteps of Mr Crabtree" written by John Bailey.There is also a Television series to be broadcast on Discovery in January 2013. Tom's book was originally published as a limited edition hardback. It was one of the fastest selling books via the publishers Fishingbooksender.co.uk and has received rave reviews from all that have read it. We are constantly receiving requests for this, long sold out book, that we have decided to publish the book as paperback.
