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.

At this rate it’s going to take a MILLION years for Tom to get

the art box of his dreams…

or will it?
