This takes the form of Toms battered homework diary-crammed with his doodles and stories. "Exciting News! Mr Fullerman announces that class 5F are going on an Activity Break! Which should be fun. As long as I don't get stuck in a group with anyone who snores or worse still with. . . Marcus Meldrew. Delia is already threatening to paint my room funny colours while I'm away. Which is annoying. I just hope the only surprise I have when I get home is the new pet that I hear Mum and Dad talking about. Because I've always wanted a pet!".
