À propos de cet e-book
"Fans of Griffiths, Gleitzman and Jennings will be thrilled to have this in their collection ... What a great book." Kids Book Review
I'm Tom Weekly. This is a nail-biting - make that toe-biting - thrill ride through my life.
This is where I pour out whatever's inside my head. Like the time a bloodthirsty magpie out to get me. Or when I had to eat Vegemite off my sister's big toe. And don't forget the day I ate 67 hot dogs in ten minutes. My life gets a bit weird sometimes but that's how I roll.
Top 3 reasons to read this book:
1. Cures for nits
2. Hover underpants
3. Instructions for teleporting
**#1 Bestseller Dymocks Older Readers Chart
**Top 10 Bestseller Bookscan Children’s Fiction Chart
**Shortlisted KOALA & YABBA Kids’ Choice Awards
