{My thoughts} – Weir Do is a rather interesting character. His mom and dad decided to name him using family names, which resulted in an incredibly strange yet funny name for him.

Weir Do is the new kid in school and he always dreads when he has to stand up and tell someone his name. I am sure if I had a name as silly as his I would feel the same way. However, he also seems to be a bit strange as does his family. In my opinion his name is a perfect fit for him.

He didn’t stay the new kid for long though. And soon everything that was thought to be exciting, strange, unusual about him was soon forgotten while the peers in his class moved onto to the next new student.

I really liked this book. It helps to show children that it’s okay to be themselves. That they can find friends that like them just the way they are, even if most of their peers think they are strange. I think this is a great book to read on the night before any child’s first day of school. It has the potential to help them see that even though they think things might have a bad outcome, that more then likely everything will be alright.

Ever since I first saw Anh Do in the TV series Kick on SBS which sadly only went for one year I have been a fan of his work, the Weir Do series written for younger readers is a total cack and I decided to read this one again, I can't recall how many of them I have read, but as I get them I'll work through them all.
He is a legend is Mr Do!

(One should re-read this book every now and then!)

I’ve been meaning to read this series for so long! I can see why the kids love it. It’d assume it’s very relatable for them and it’s pretty funny too!
