"Tom Gates has fractured his ankle and is totally fed up. That is until he starts to think up fun stuff to do while he's waiting for the cast to come off: making up a secret language with Norman; having his friends over to try out his crutches; sitting by the window spying on his street; and most of all, trying to get his hands on a caramel doughnut from the new bakery in town."-- Provided by publisher.
