Written by L. Pichon
This book is written in a graphic novel style with lots of doodles and scribbles and funny side illustrations to get the author’s point across. If you are a Diary of a Wimpy Kid fan you will appreciate the world of Tom Gates. In the beginning he finds out the most awesome news – his favorite band is coming to his town to put on a concert. As the story continues we find out more about his family and his annoying big sister.
