The World of Norm: May Still Be Charged cover

In this ninth installment, Norm faces a massive phone bill and must navigate the chaos that ensues to enjoy biking with his friend. The World of Norm: May Still Be Charged delivers laughs.

In The World of Norm: May Still Be Charged, readers are greeted with yet another uproarious adventure featuring Norm, a boy whose life seems to be a never-ending series of comedic mishaps. From the very beginning, Norm finds himself grounded before even getting out of bed, a situation that sets the tone for the chaos that follows. The reason for his punishment? A staggering phone bill that he can't quite comprehend, leaving him in a predicament that many young readers will relate to - the struggle to understand adult responsibilities.

As Norm attempts to navigate his way through this unexpected challenge, he realizes that he must find a way to pay off the debt if he wants to enjoy a day of biking with his friend Mikey. This leads him to the unlikeliest of partnerships with his annoyingly persistent next-door neighbor, adding layers of humor and tension to the storyline. The interactions between Norm and his neighbor are filled with witty banter and laugh-out-loud moments that make this book a delightful read for children and adults alike.

With charming illustrations by Donough O'Malley, The World of Norm: May Still Be Charged captures the essence of childhood dilemmas in a way that is both entertaining and relatable. Jonathan Meres continues to prove himself as a master of humor, drawing praise from fans and critics alike for his ability to create stories that resonate with young readers while keeping them thoroughly amused.
