This special World Book Day title is an introduction to Norm, a highly relatable, perpetually frustrated, and hilarious young boy. Norm believes his life is utterly unfair, and the book humorously chronicles his day-to-day calamities, from annoying siblings to embarrassing parents and school woes. Jonathan Meres captures the authentic, slightly manic internal monologue of a pre-teen boy. The story is a fun, accessible entry point into the popular World of Norm series, appealing to reluctant readers with its witty, diary-style format and laugh-out-loud observational humor about the tribulations of growing up.
