Once you open this book you'll spot its secret - it doesn't look like a book and there's very little of that print stuff that parents and teachers are so keen on getting a boy to read. The story's told in Tom's handwriting - and a remarkably fine and clear hand he has for one so young. The doodles are great, putting me in mind of the sort of graffiti which you think ought to be art, but then Liz Pichon was a graphic designer before she was a writer.
 
We pass our review copies on to a local school and the teacher tells me that the boys are getting '''a lot''' out of all the Tom Gates books.
