The Funny Thing about Norman Foreman by Julietta Henderson
5.0

Absolutely wonderful. There's a fabulous balance between heartwarming and gut wrenching, with an all encompassing gentle humour.
The narrative is split between Norman; 12 years old, budding straight man who is bereft when his best friend, and partner in comedic crime dies. And Sadie; self depreciating mother of Norman who repeatedly brought me to tears with her lack of self worth.
I laughed and I cried at their adventures. I love the characters that we meet along the way and the development in our protagonists.
