The World of Norm: May Produce Gas

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...

An award-winning, laugh-out-loud series for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and David Walliams.

“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”
