The Adventures of William and Thomas

Book One in the I Told You So! Series
By Mark Gunning

Meet William and Thomas—two best friends with enormous imaginations, questionable decision-making skills, and a remarkable talent for turning ordinary days into unforgettable disasters.

Inspired by the author's own childhood adventures, The Adventures of William and Thomas is a laugh-out-loud collection of short stories packed with mischief, friendship, and the kind of chaos only kids can create. Whether they're attempting daring stunts, hatching ridiculous schemes, or trying to solve problems that somehow become even bigger problems, William and Thomas always mean well... even when their plans go spectacularly wrong.

Join the boys as they:

• try to survive an encounter with angry killer bees,
• feed extra-spicy chili to Harry the dog,
• investigate a mysterious basement monster,
• build a gigantic ramp with predictably disastrous results,
• and discover that making it "snow" in the middle of summer isn't quite as easy as it sounds.

Filled with humour, heart, and plenty of "I told you so" moments, this award-winning chapter book celebrates the joys of childhood friendship, imagination, and learning from your mistakes—usually the hard way.

Perfect for readers ages 7–10, reluctant readers, and fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, And Then It Happened, and The Adventures of Captain Underpants, The Adventures of William and Thomas is a fast-paced, entertaining read that will leave kids eager for the next adventure.

Because when William has a plan, one thing is certain:

Thomas is probably going to say, "This is a bad idea."
