What could be better (or worse) than a class trip? Tom’s about to find out in this fifth wicked diary from his award-winning series.

Since Tom forgets everything, it’s not surprising that he forgot all about the trip he’s supposed to go on with class 5F. It’s good that his family helps keep him on track (even, once in a while, his grumpy sister, Delia)! Luckily, there are loads of excellent things to do on the trip, like making rafts, eating snacks, and seeing some very weird creatures. That is, as long as Tom doesn’t get stuck in a group with anyone who snores or worse (looking at you, Marcus Meldrew!).

I am really looking forward to the school activity trip (if I can find my form). Delia wants me to go too. There'll be loads of excellent things to do. Like: making rafts, midnight feasts, watching out for some very weird creatures. --

Tom Gates, a middle schooler who documents his eventful life in a humorous, illustrated journal, describes his adventures on a school field trip, an outing in which even his sister wants him to take part.
