PLEASE RETURN TO: Norbert M. Finkelstein

BOOK 1 in the PLEASE RETURN TO series!

Norbert M. Finkelstein is your average middle school English teacher...who happens to moonlight as a professional wrestler. Sure, he’d like to keep this part of his life a secret. He’d rather sit back and endure the daily bullying he takes from his students and some of his colleagues at Mapleton Middle School. For most of his life the act of staying out of the spotlight has been his only superpower. It’s easier that way.

But when Norbie needs to raise money to pay for a school project gone wrong, his only choice is to throw his weight around in the ring, and risk awaking the ghosts of his wrestling past. Between brutal training sessions with Sensei Clement, and daily threats from a shifty fight promoter named Joey Happenstance, Norbie must wrestle his way up the ranks by pinning an entire roster of zany opponents. A lonely student named Maya and Norbie’s secret crush, the school librarian, may be all he has in his corner as he fights to find the courage to face his toughest competition yet.
