Written in Tom's own hilarious diary-style voice and packed with scribbled doodles, lists, and comic asides, each paperback captures the everyday chaos of school, family, and best-friend drama that made the series a beloved modern classic for young readers everywhere. Perfect for reluctant readers and devoted fans, this value-packed set delivers five fresh helpings of Tom's signature humor, heart, and homemade creativity in one giftable bundle.

About the Books
This five-book paperback collection brings together some of Tom Gates's later adventures, continuing the diary-comic format that has made the series a favorite read-aloud and independent-reading choice for elementary and middle-grade kids. In Five Star Stories, Tom scrambles to write a prize-worthy tale for his school's story book, digging through his collection of odd objects for inspiration. Book of Everything gathers Tom's scrapbook of random lists, doodles, and musings into one chaotic, giggle-inducing volume. Ha! Ha! Hilarious leans into the series' comedic roots, piling on jokes, pranks, and classroom mishaps. Pesky Pets and Parties finds Tom navigating sibling squabbles, unpredictable animals, and party planning gone sideways. Is Not Famous (Yet) follows Tom's quest for recognition, whether through his band Dogzombies or his latest harebrained scheme. Across all five titles, Liz Pichon's instantly recognizable hand-drawn illustrations fill every page, turning each spread into a visual scrapbook that mirrors how real kids doodle in notebook margins. The diary format, short chapters, and heavy visual support make these books approachable for developing and reluctant readers, while the comedic timing and relatable scenarios keep confident readers turning pages late into the night. Fans who've followed Tom from book one will recognize familiar faces like Marcus, Amy, and Tom's hapless parents, while newcomers can jump in with any of these five installments without feeling lost.
