Tom Gates - Catastrophes and More. Oh dear, Tom has his hands full with the new school project that his teacher Mr. Fullerman has come up with: a family tree. Tom's family includes, of course, his parents and his sister Delia (grrr...), as well as his best friends (and band members) and - if it were up to Tom - a pet of his own (a dog). But wait, where is that squeaking coming from Tom's shoes?.
