The Most Average Boy in the Multiverse: The Calibration Chronicles, Book One (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798183607567)

Norman Pringle holds a world record. Unfortunately, it's for being the most average human being on the entire planet.

He's exactly average height. He gets a C-plus on every test. His hair is a color paint companies call "Hair." People forget he's even in the room - his own grandmother just calls him "The Boy." So when school assigns an essay titled What Makes Me Special, Norman has absolutely nothing to write.

Then a school vending machine pulls him into a parallel universe.

It's the Maximum Universe, where everyone is the MOST of something - the loudest, the tallest, the best at absolutely everything - and all that extremeness is shaking the entire world to pieces. The one thing that can save it? A perfectly average person, willing to stand at the exact center of creation and simply... be steady.

In other words, they need the most average boy in the multiverse. They need Norman.

Together with his gloriously dramatic best friend Dot, an anxious clipboard-carrying robot named Gerald, and a curious young inventor named Pip, Norman has three days to cross a universe of Too Much and Not Enough, outwit a cape-wearing villain who would rather end the world than be ordinary, and discover the one thing no report card ever told him: that being average might just be the most important job there is.

Funny, big-hearted, and full of illustrations, The Most Average Boy in the Multiverse is a sci-fi adventure for anyone who's ever felt invisible - and a reminder that you don't have to be the most to matter.

Perfect for readers 9-14 who love huge laughs, an even bigger heart, and heroes who win by being exactly themselves.
