Shortlisted for The Red House Children’s Book Award 2012. The everyday becomes ridiculous in this hilarious story of Norm’s life – as seen through his own unusual and somewhat biased eyes! Norm’s life seems to have gone badly wrong and it is all his parents’ fault. Why did they decide to move? How Norm gets through the ups and many downs of his life is a rollercoaster of laughs.
If you like the Wimpy Kidbooks, you'll love The World of Norm !
Norman knew it was going to be one of those days when he woke up and found himself about to pee in his dad's wardrobe... Why on earth did Norm's family have to move, anyway? In their old house he'd never tried to pee in anything other than a toilet. And when Norm is in bed, he's kept awake by his dad snoring like a constipated rhinoceros! Will life ever get less unfair for Norm?
