    What could be better (or worse) than a class trip? Tom’s about to find out in this fifth wicked diary from his award-winning series.

    Since Tom forgets everything, it’s not surprising that he forgot all about the trip he’s supposed to go on with class 5F. It’s good that his family helps keep him on track (even, once in a while, his grumpy sister, Delia)! Luckily, there are loads of excellent things to do on the trip, like making rafts, eating snacks, and seeing some very weird creatures. That is, as long as Tom doesn’t get stuck in a group with anyone who snores or worse (looking at you, Marcus Meldrew!).
    Liz Pichon is the author-illustrator of the award-winning Tom Gates series, which has received a Roald Dahl Funny Prize and a Waterstone’s Best Fiction Prize, among other awards. She has also written and illustrated a number of picture books, including My Big Brother, Boris. Liz Pichon studied graphic design and worked as an art director in the music industry, and her designs have appeared on a number of products. She lives with her family in England.
