The World of Norm #11
May Be Recycled
The eleventh 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 woke up and nothing happened ...
Home alone and the fridge to himself? What could possibly go wrong? Well, apart from the snails. And having to hang his mum's pants out to dry. And the dreaded perfect cousins paying a visit. And worst of all, the entire family going vege-flipping-tarian! But apart from that , what could possibly go wrong?
You'd think Norm would know better by now, wouldn't you? ABSO-FLIPPING-LUTELY!
With brilliantly funny illustrations throughout from Donough O'Malley.

Was reading this to our son but he stopped wanting me to read to him [sad day]. We had read quite a few already. I finished it alone.
I love the Norm books. They are like a modern William except they focus more on the typical conversation & thought processes of a confused, near-teenaged boy and his family & friends. It reads very easily - like a stream of consciousness - and the wacky llustrations play on the strange idioms of our language. There are recurring events like the vein in his dad's neck throbbing when he gets angry; Chelsea, the annoying girl next door, popping up from behind the fence at the worst moments; Norm's bickering with his little brothers etc but each book involves a slightly different 24 hours of torture interspersed with the odd happy moment, often involving Norm riding his mountain bike or spending time with [my favourite character] his laconic, cloud-eyebrowed, allotmenteering Grandpa.
Very funny, well-observed and deserve to be better-known.

Very average ... but my 10 year old said he'd read another one.
