Branching Out: Books for Fans of Tom Gates

books for fans of tom gates
If you like Tom Gates, try these…

The Tom Gates books have been phenomenally popular with readers who enjoy laugh-out-loud illustrated stories exploring themes of school, family life and everything zany.

We’ve put together a list of ten similar books for fans of Tom Gates. Readers who want more books like Tom Gates in the notebook-style format might enjoy The Accidental Diary of B.U.G or Planet Stan. For those who enjoy reading about the ups and downs of family and school life, we recommend the Freddy Vs School books or Konnie Huq’s Cookie.

Readers looking for something to laugh about should try the giggle-worthy Charlie Changes into a Chicken or The Day the Screens Went Blank. Some children will want to find another collectable series to zip through after reading the Tom Gates books, and we recommend trying Middle School or Sam WU next.

Browse the full list below of books for children looking for what to read next after Tom Gates…

Hank Zipzer The World’s Greatest Underachiever (Is the Ping-Pong Wizard)

Chapter book

Love the CBBC TV series of Hank Zipzer? Read the books! This year all the kids at Hank’s school have to pick a favourite sport and specialize in it. Hank can’t run, he can’t catch and he can’t throw. Luckily, he’s a whizz at ping-pong. That’s a sport, right? Perfect for reluctant readers.

Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life

Chapter book

Rafe Khatchadorian has enough problems at home without throwing his first year of middle school into the mix. Luckily, he’s got an ace plan for the best year ever, if only he can pull it off. With his best friend Leonardo the Silent awarding him points, Rafe tries to break every rule in his school’s oppressive Code of Conduct. Chewing gum in class – 5,000 points! Running in the hallway – 10,000 points! Pulling the fire alarm – 50,000 points! But when Rafe’s game starts to catch up with him, he’ll have to decide if winning is all that matters, or if he’s finally ready to face the rules, bullies, and truths he’s been avoiding.
