Tom Gates knows what he likes and what he doesn't. He likes hanging out with his friend Derek. Playing in his band and singing. Doodling. And making things. And telling jokes and stories. And. Well. You get it. He doesn't like (much) his grumpy teenage sister Delia, his school frenemy Marcus and his snore-bore-ing teacher Mr Fullerman (who at least provides an opportunity for Tom to indulge in his favourite pastime - doodling).

Tom Gates

Hi, I'm Tom Gates.

When Mr Fullerman doesn't have his BIG BEADY EYES on me I like to draw pictures!

My teachers say I'm easily distracted and lack "focus". But that's HARSH because right now I'm VERY focused on what TREAT I'm going to EAT when I get home...mmm?

Frank

Tom's Dad

Tom's Dad has a secret stash of biscuits in his shed, where he works. Tom knows where they're hidden though, which is handy when he has band practice with the rest of DogZombies and they run out of treats (Tom always leaves the fig rolls though - yuck!) Dad makes Tom laugh a lot, especially when he wears odd clothes or costumes and picks Tom up from school (it's happened a few times).

The Fossils

Tom's Grandparents

Tom calls his Granny and Granddad on his Dad's side "The Fossils" because they're VERY old - although most of the time, they have more energy than him.

Granny Mavis loves to make odd combinations of food like BANANA PIZZA, GRATED CHOCOLATE on PASTA and TEA-covered CORNFLAKES.

Granddad can play the spoons and sing at the same time. It's always funny when he takes out his false teeth and smiles at Delia (she never laughs).

Rooster

Derek's dog

Rooster is the BEST! He likes running around and can JUMP really high - especially if he spots something he wants to eat - like a BBQ sausage that Tom's Dad has just put on a plate. He's great at doing tricks too. Just don't say the word BATH too loudly in front of him or he'll run a MILE.

Marcus Meldrew

Tom's Classmate

Marcus sits next to Tom in class and thinks he's a GENIUS (he's not). Tom thinks he's lucky because he has a dog, like Derek. He said it was FIERCE and well trained, so Tom and his classmates expected to see something HUGE... Certainly not a TINY Chihuahua. Marcus can be annoying, but he's still Tom's friend.

Amy Porter

Tom's Classmate

Amy sits next to Tom in class and is VERY smart, which is useful if Tom needs to take a SNEAKY PEEK at her spelling tests. He just leans to his right and then (accidentally on purpose) SEES the answers because they're STARING at him. Amy is good at most things but she likes sprouts (which is a bit weird).

Norman Watson

Tom's Classmate

Norman plays drums in DogZombies and he's BRILLIANT as long as he hasn't had too much SUGAR (he gets VERY hyper and goes CRAZY). He has a funny way of looking at things and does the BEST impression of a JELLY wobble ever (life skills).

Mr. Sprocket

Derek's Teacher

Mr. Sprocket is Derek's teacher in the classroom next door to Tom's. Sometimes Tom thinks he's a bit competitive with Mr. Fullerman. Especially when it comes to SPORTS day and the Teacher's Race. Mr. Sprocket showed Tom and his friends his BREAKDANCING at the school disco. It was amazing right up until his BACK went and he had to be helped out of school on a STRETCHER.

Mr. Keen

Tom's Headmaster

Mr. Keen's eyebrows are LEGENDARY. It's hard for Tom to concentrate on what he's saying because his eyebrows are so bushy they look like two CATERPILLARS walking across his face. Mr. Keen is quite strict. You can tell how ANGRY he is by the colour of his face. The redder it gets - the more cross he is.

Buster Jones

Older Kid at Tom's School

Some kids are a bit NERVOUS of Buster because he gets into trouble - a LOT. He's in the year above Tom and has NICKNAMES for everyone, including the teachers. He calls Tom "Gatesy" and gets him to do drawings for him because they make him laugh. He's not as scary as kids think he is. He's always nice to Tom.

Mark Clump

Tom's Classmate

Mark has a LOT of pets including a SNAKE which he brought into school once. Tom thought it was ACE, but some kids ran a mile. If you want to know anything about animals, Mark is the person to ask.
