Tom gates Excellent Excuses

Excellent Excuses by Liz Pichon is an action packed, amusing and terrific book with extravagant vocabulary and absolutely bonkers pictures.

Liz pichon has used creative pictures and also  has used action in the story to hook the reader in straight away. This story is filled with drama and is a inspirational book I mean do you want to study or do you want to be let free. Well if you do this book is perfect for you because you can use these excuses to not be able to do your homework YAhoo!!!.  This book is outstanding and I like it because  when tom goes to the cousins house and watches a scary movie that he doesn't want to but says ok because he doesn't want them to make fun of him.

This humorous book is about a kid called  Tom Gates and his neighbour Derek and their friends Norwan, Solid and more and this annoying boy called Marcus Meldrew and don’t forget Tom’s annoying sister called Delia. Tom and his neighbour  derek like music and have a band called dogzombies but the principal says they should audition for the school band, but before Tom can say something  the principal MR Keen has said okay but there is a problem they don't have a drummer what will happen?

My favourite part is when Tom and Derek get the photos of when Tom’s cranky sister Delia was little and make a line of pictures and drop them down the window and  when Delia’s boyfriend sees the pictures he starts laughing mad and his sister is left annoyed,and drags her boyfriend somewhere else.

I would recommend this book to 6 to 10 year olds because this book has excellent excuses and we children to not like to study and we also have to run around or play something for edlest an hour and this is a perfect way. I also recommend this book to us children  because it captures your attention and has animation in the book. I give Excellent Excuses a five stars out of five.

Overall Excellent Excuses is astonishing and is a book which has to be read.
