- Book Synopsis
-
The brand-new Tom Gates bestseller!
Oakfield School is buzzing with excitement: a rumour is flying about that a celebrity is coming to visit! When Tom tells his parents, they reveal all the famous people they have ever met... but Tom hasn't heard of ANY of them.
Class 5F are putting on a play and Marcus is set on the starring role. Tom is sure he'll be a diva and that being in the spotlight will go to his head!
Will everyone realize that friendship is more important than being famous?
Ideal for readers who:
- Enjoy funny school stories with a touch of performance-day chaos
- Might be especially amused by rumours, egos and Tom’s running commentary on both
- Like everyday settings where classmates and family can make even small events feel dramatic
- Read best when the humour is visual, lively and easy to fall into
