About the Book Tom Gates has a brand new mission: make Class 5F laugh harder than ever with his self-written comic strip, Ants In Pants. Inspiration is everywhere he looks, from Mr Keen's unfortunate unicycle incident to the arrival of their unforgettable new supply teacher, Miss Jam. Her lessons are an instant hit with the whole class (much to Mr Fullerman's dismay), giving Tom endless material for his doodles and jokes. But when Tom's precious comic accidentally falls into the wrong hands, his carefully crafted plans begin to unravel in spectacular, embarrassing fashion. Can he salvage the situation, win back the laughs, and keep his reputation intact? Will his best mate Marcus actually step up to help, or leave him to sort out the mess alone?
