Fifth grader Tom Gates delights in annoying his older sister, Delia; practicing with his band, Dogzombies; and trying to impress the one and only Amy Porter. Through handwritten doodles and notes, Tom documents his antics, his quirky family, and the quest to see his favorite band in concert. Pichon's series-starter is lacking a cohesive story, but raucous hilarity keeps the pages turning.
