PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION Tom Gates has fractured his ankle and is totally fed up. Until he thinks back to some fun times he's had with his friends, grandparents and at school, and starts to imagine all the fun things he'll be able to do when the cast comes off: adventures with Rooster the dog, going metal-detecting with Uncle Kevin and making up a secret language with Norman... AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY L. Pichon says that when she was little, she loved to draw, and her mom said she was very good at making a mess (this is still true today). She kept drawing, went to art school, became a designer and art director at Jive Records, and began to publish children's books. After its publication in the U.K., The Brilliant World of Tom Gates won several prestigious awards, including the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize, and the Blue Peter Book Award. L. Pichon lives in Brighton, England, with her family.
