Tom Gates: Everything's Amazing (Sort of)

410 pp. | Candlewick | September, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-7473-1 $12.99
(3) 4-6 Tom, his annoying sister Delia, and classmates Marcus (a.k.a. "Twit") and love interest Amy return for more school drama (Excellent Excuses), this time involving Tom's birthday and one very detailed (and ever-expanding) present list. Pichon's engaging style and clever doodles keep the pace at a solid clip. Dad's, er, unusual new job adds an extra dose of absurd humor and hilarious visual gags.
