Product description
The top-of-the-class, extra special 20th book from multi-million copy selling author and illustrator Liz Pichon.
A feel-good, laugh-out-loud, packed-with-pictures Tom Gates story!
It’s TIDY UP Saturday, but Tom is VERY busy relaxing and not helping out much.
Until he spots the art box of his dreams in a shop window and everything changes. He’s suddenly focused on earning extra pocket money and helping with
EVERYTHING.
But nothing quite goes to plan. Washing and shrinking Delia’s clothes isn’t a good start. And the hours spent carefully cleaning cars with Derek are ruined overnight when a storm hits Oakfield Town, causing even MORE chaos.
