About the Book
Norm knew it was going to be one of those days when he woke up with a half-Polish Cockapoo on his head. From there, things only get more chaotic in this exclusive World Book Day 2016 instalment of the much-loved World of Norm series. Norm is an ordinary boy with a decidedly extraordinary knack for finding himself in awkward, embarrassing and downright funny situations, whether it's dealing with his annoyingly perfect older brothers, his eccentric family, or simply trying to get through an average day without disaster striking. Written in Jonathan Meres' trademark witty, fast-paced style, this short novel captures everything readers love about the series in a condensed, World Book Day-friendly format. It's packed with the same relatable humour, sharp dialogue and comic mishaps that have made the full-length World of Norm books such a hit with young readers across the UK. Told entirely from Norm's exasperated, deadpan point of view, the story will resonate with any child who has ever felt like the universe is conspiring against them. It's a brilliant introduction for new readers, and a fun, quick read for existing fans. Fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and David Walliams will enjoy Norm's world of everyday chaos.
