Product description

The fifth book in the bestselling series from the brilliantly talented Liz Pichon.
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!

When Liz was little, she loved to draw, paint and make things. Her mum used to say she was very good at making a mess (which is still true today!).

She kept drawing and went to art school, where she earned a degree in graphic design. She worked as a designer and art director in the music industry, and her freelance work has appeared on a wide variety of products.

Liz is the author-illustrator of several picture books. Tom Gates is the first series of books she has written and illustrated for older children. They have won several prestigious awards, including the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, and the Blue Peter Book Award. The books have been translated into forty-one languages worldwide.
