Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not quite fit the mold of a typical student or when they are struggling to find their tribe at school. It is an ideal choice for the child who is frequently misunderstood by peers or who embraces their own eccentricities with a sense of wonder rather than shame. Norman Gnormal is a fourth grader who acts like a dog, a quirk that has left him isolated until his principal suggests he join the school Werewolf Club. There, he meets a group of equally unique friends who set off on a quest for a magical, legendary snack. Through absurd humor and surreal adventures, the story explores themes of belonging, the joy of found family, and the celebration of individuality. It is a lighthearted, short chapter book that provides comfort by showing that there is a place for everyone, no matter how odd they may seem.
