There was a boy named Tom who had cousins that he hated so MUCH!! Once he had two weeks off of school, he was so happy, he and his best friend planned a sleepover. After he went to his aunt and uncle's house, his cousins pranked him. When his dad came to pick him up he was so happy to go home and see his sister named Dila. Tom showed Dila's boyfriend all her baby photos and they laughed and then the bad news came...
I liked this story because it's funny, silly, and it has lots and lots of drama. One example of this when his cousins pranked Tom. It also taught me new things. It taught me to never be mean to my family members.
I recommend this story because it's so cool and plus it has lots of cool pranks and enemies. The cousin's and Tom are enemies, they are enemies the whole time. You are going to love this book so much, maybe you will read another Tom Gates book.
