You don’t actually need to even have read the previous 8 books, because this reads easily by itself (although I WILL be reading the previous 8 books simply because of how amazing this one was). 8-12 year old children will absolutely gobble this up - it’s so easy to digest, with tons of learning opportunities for new words to extend kids’ vocabulary.
Liz Pichon is extremely talented - she writes and does the drawings for these books and she’s made Tom so likeable and easy to root for. I genuinely loved Top of the Class (Nearly) and I can’t believe this is my first foray into Tom Gates’ world because it was fantastic and I didn’t want it to end!
