Aged around 10 years old, Tom is the younger of the two children of Frank and Rita Gates, and the younger brother of Delia. [4] He attends Oakfield Primary School where he is in Mr Fullerman's Class 5F, under headmaster Mr Keen. Children in his class include Marcus Meldrew (who sits next to and consistently annoys Tom in class), and Amy Porter (who also sits next to Tom, but whom Tom hopes to impress). Also in his year at Oakfield is his best friend Derek Fingle, who also lives next door to him. Tom has a second neighbour, June Jones, that annoys Tom and dislikes his band. This quirky, funny, highly-illustrated, fiction series follows life’s ups and downs of chaotic but loveable Tom, Delia, his old sister, his parents and of course his best friend Derek and his arch enemy, Marcus. Written by award-winning author and illustrator Liz Pichon, Tom is a master of excuses (especially when it comes to homework), creative storyteller and doodler and middle-school comedian extraordinaire.Songs included:Nice Cup of Teaby Tea Cup Tony and The Saucers;What You Gonna Do?by Plastic Cup;Shout it Outby Dude3;Delia’s A Weirdoby DogZombies;The Cat Songby DogZombies;The School Dinner Blues (Chips Song)by DogZombies.

Once I think of a title, I tell my editor and watch her reaction. When I got the idea for Yes! No. (Maybe), I was out running on the seafront in Brighton. I wanted something on the cover that was BIG, positive, lively and that gave a hint of the story. I already know what the title of the next book is, but I have to keep my mouth SHUT or I’ll be in big trouble! I have a soft spot for this series, so love it when a new book comes out. This one was hilarious. Kids eating bowls full of sugar, caramel doughnuts, cool grandparents and a whole heap of illustrations to boot!” Rania T. Tom and Derek are in a band called Dog Zombies, consisting of Tom on guitar, Derek on keyboard, and classmate Norman Watson on drums. I do a celebratory dance and whoop a bit if I’m in my shed. Then I start thinking about what would be FUN to put in the NEXT book. There is a feeling of relief seeing the first printed book, but that doesn’t last very long. I always feel excited about starting a new idea though, as ANYTHING is possible. The Brilliant World of Tom Gates". Archived from the original on 2023-04-25 . Retrieved 2023-04-25.
