Tom Gates #23: Ha! Ha! Hilarious!

Tom Gates Is Back — and He's Funnier Than Ever!

Get ready for another brilliantly chaotic adventure with everyone's favourite doodling, daydreaming, biscuit-obsessed schoolboy. Ha! Ha! Hilarious! is the 23rd book in Liz Pichon's record-breaking Tom Gates series — and it's packed with laughs, doodles, and the kind of genius silliness that kids absolutely love.

Imagine a book so funny your child won't want to put it down — one that has them giggling out loud, begging to read just one more page, and suddenly declaring that reading is actually brilliant. That's the Tom Gates effect.
