This takes the form of Tom's battered homework diary - crammed with his doodles and stories.
Reviews
As an adult, I actually found the first book of this very popular series fairly humdrum. It didn't especially make me laugh, I didn't find any hidden depths or interesting themes. That said, it the text is really well laid out and fun to look at and the writing is consistently good (although not particularly sparkling in my opinion). If I was a 6-8 year old boy this would totally be my jam so I would definitely recommend it for independent reading within that particular demographic.

Loved this. Great for less enthusiastic readers.

Easy read, funny at times, could see why younger children enjoy it so much.
