AbstractHistoryArchive Description

" 'My parents could have given me any first name at all, like John, Kevin, Shmevin . . . ANYTHING. Instead I'm stuck with the worst name since Mrs Face called her son Bum.'

Meet Weir Do. No, that's not a typo, that's his name! Weir Do is the new kid in school. With an unforgettable name, a crazy family and some seriously weird habits, fitting in won't be easy . . . but it will be funny!" (Publisher's blurb)
