Product description

The top-of-the-class, extra special bestseller from multi-million copy selling author and illustrator Liz Pichon – now in paperback.
A laugh-out-loud, packed-with-pictures Tom Gates story!
Oh no!
Tom’s stuck at home with a fractured ankle and it’s spoiling his fun.
Doodling on his plaster cast helps to pass the time, along with visits from family (with treats), friends and even Rooster managing to sneak in.
Tom remembers other fun times he’s had, like metal detecting with Uncle Kevin and the cousins or inventing a new secret language with Derek.
But only ONE thing will cheer Tom up:
a caramel doughnut from the new bakery…
trouble is, every other kid in town keeps getting there before him!

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.
