Description
The first 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 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?
With brilliantly funny illustrations throughout from Donough O'Malley.
