Meet the Do family… They’re, kind of...well, they named their son Weir knowing their last name was Do. But his name is the least of Weir Do’s problems. Being the new kid at school is a major hurdle, add to that burning a hole in his undies on the first day, visits from his nutty Grandma Do, and the daily antics of his zany family, and you have a series that will leave kids and adults rolling with laughter. As Weir says in this first book, he was, "stuck with the worst name since Mrs. Face called her son Butt". Thank goodness he meets Henry and Bella, who’s interactions add to the hilarity of these graphic novels. If this doesn’t get kids hooked, it will hook their parents. Aussie humour at it’s best.
