Norm is the only normal person at Monster School, a place where all the students are creatures -- and the staff members are, too. When Norm attends a class sleepover, he's wary of being away from home, afraid of the creepy bedtime story, and terrified of the dark. But with the help of the monsters in his class, maybe he can learn how to be brave for one night.
This is a quick, amusing read with some humorous details and a comforting ending. While Norm is pretty judgmental in places, many children will sympathize with his nervousness. It would make a nice addition to a regular library or classroom collection, or to a set of leveled readers.
