My Life And Other Stuff I Made Up
2011
I'm Tom Weekly. This is a nail-biting - make that toe-biting - thrill ride through my life. This is where I pour out whatever's inside my head. Like the time a bloodthirsty magpie out to get me. Or when I had to eat Vegemite off my sister's big toe. And don't forget the day I ate 67 hot dogs in ten minutes. My life gets a bit weird sometimes but that's how I roll. Top 3 reasons to read this 1. Cures for nits 2. Hover underpants 3. Instructions for teleporting \

2014
I'm Tom Weekly. If you want to know what went wrong, listen to this and laugh. You'll learn the secret of my strangest body part. You'll meet my super-angry grandpa, and hear about my best non-human friend, Rarnald the rat. You'll find out why I've been banned from KidsWorld. But that won't freak you out as much as the story of how Stella Holling tricked me into kissing her. Three things you'll learn 1\. How to climb Mount Everest 2\. How to make a backyard theme park 3\. How to escape a pirate

My Life and Other Massive Mistakes
2015
Have you ever helped your pop escape from a nursing home? Does your teacher have a problem with his bowels? Is your sister an evil genius and criminal mastermind? Have you ever mined your teeth for cash? Do you want to know where all the lost socks go? Is there a girl or boy at school who's desperate to kiss you? And do you know someone with the worst case of nits in world history? I do. I'm Tom Weekly and this is the third book in my weird, funny, sometimes gross life story.
#4
My Life and Other Exploding Chickens
2016
Have you ever run from the dentist? Are you petrified of clowns? Have giant head lice tried to attack and eat you? Do you ever chew on your grandfather's toenails for short story inspiration? And have you come up with a genius way to never do homework again? All of these things have happened to Tom Weekly. His life is an exploding chicken, and the book in your hands is his attempt to glue it back together again.

'Like Dahl, Bancks is passionate about inspiring a love of reading in the young by placing fun at the centre of his storytelling.' Andy Griffiths, author of the Treehouse series
I'm Tom Weekly and eating is my favourite sport.
My mum's raspberry muffins are weapons of minor destruction. I've been trapped inside a runaway car on a trip to buy ice cream. I accidentally invented meatball bungee. And my recipe for chocolate mousse has a secret ingredient that you don't even want to know.What would you rather do? 1. Ride a shark or a rhino?2. Kiss a dog or a cat? 3. Needle in the eye or bum set on fire?"Fans of Griffiths, Gleitzman and Jennings will be thrilled to have this in their collection." Kids Book Review\
