A feel-good, laugh-out-loud, packed-with-pictures Tom Gates story!

It’s TIDY UP Saturday, but Tom is VERY busy relaxing and not helping out much.

Until he spots the art box of his dreams in a shop window and everything changes. He’s suddenly focused on earning extra pocket money and helping with

EVERYTHING.

But nothing quite goes to plan. Washing and shrinking Delia’s clothes isn’t a good start. And the hours spent carefully cleaning cars with Derek are ruined overnight when a storm hits Oakfield Town, causing even MORE chaos.

At this rate it’s going to take a MILLION years for Tom to get the art box of his dreams…

or will it?
