A new adventure tests a familiar friendship

Norman the porcupine and Mildred the tree share well-worn routines, until Norman wants to try something different and discovers his friend has other plans. His decision to head off on his own brings the book’s central question into view: how can a friendship make room for independence and change? The sequel frames that tension through the simple contrast between familiar time together and the pull of a new experience, with Norman and Mildred’s bond at the heart of the story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in stories about friendship and trying new experiences
  • Young readers who enjoy animal characters and picture-book stories about independence

Book overview

New York Times best-selling creator Ryan T. Higgins follows up the much-lauded NORMAN DIDN'T DO IT! with this hilarious sequel about answering the call (and smell) of adventure.

Norman is a porcupine.
Norman's best friend is Mildred.
Mildred is a tree.

They have favorite things they do together, day after day.
When Norman wakes one morning and wants to try something new, he's frustrated to learn that Mildred has other plans.

So Norman storms off. On his own. Without Mildred.

Can their friendship survive?

With his signature humor and heart, Ryan T. Higgins explores the joy of independence and the power of best friendship.
