Tom gates: excellent excuses (and other good stuff) - L. Pichon

Hits the elementary-school-boy sweet spot.

Hilarious.

-- Booklist No school for two whole weeks Now Tom has plenty of time for the good stuff, like finding new ways (so many ) to annoy his big sister, Delia.

Or band practice for Dogzombies in his best friend Derek's garage.

All that stands between this band and rock greatness is, well, a song (besides Delia's a Weirdo).

And finding a drummer.

And landing a gig.

Will Tom let a killer toothache and pesky overdue homework get in his way?.
