The third hilarious title in the award-winning, laugh-out-loud series, The World of Norm. Perfect for fans of Tom Gates and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Norm knew it was going to be one of those days when he got blamed for global warming. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg…

It seems like the whole world has gone mad. His dad’s obsessed with gas, his best friend has come down with a case of hormones and his brother is in dire need of deodorant. Looks like there’s going to be quite a stink.
Is life still unfair for Norm? ABSO-FLIPPING-LUTELY!

Jonathan Meres follows up May Contain Nuts and May Cause Irritation with another laugh-out-loud story about Norm, a boy who can’t understand why everything always seems unfair…

With brilliantly funny illustrations throughout from Donough O’Malley.

Praise for Jonathan Meres:
‘Hilarious stuff from one of my comic heroes!’ – Harry Hill
‘Jonathan Meres is flipping funny!’ – Eddie Izzard

Reviews

A hilarious read ... another laugh-out-loud story about Norm ... Witty and clever, with equally amusing illustrations, this is another great book

You know, as an author, you are doing something right when your latest book is sent to a reviewer and her son snatches it out of her hand, shouting "yesssssss!" ... it's bonkers, with more than a hint of toilet humour and a belly-full of laughs ... very funny, very silly

Birmingham Post

Packed with laughs.

You are doing something right when your latest book is sent to a reviewer and her son snatches it out of her hand, shouting, "yesssss!" My ten-year-old loved it: it's bonkers, with more than a hint of toilet humour and a belly-full of laughs. Very funny, very silly.

Birmingham Post

One of the greatest kid's books I have ever read. Witty, humorous and charming. If you are to select just one book for this school year, check out The World of Norm first!
