The first book in the series The Brilliant World of Tom Gates won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, The Red House Book Award Best Book for Young Readers and the Waterstone's Best Fiction for 5-12 year olds Prize. The fourth book in the series Tom Gates; Genius Ideas Mostly won the Blue Peter Award for Best Story. In 2013, Liz Pichon was a World Book Day author with Tom Gates: Best Book Day Ever (So Far).
