Weirdo | Tony Weaver, Jr.

2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read

From rising star Tony Weaver, Jr. comes a middle-grade graphic novel memoir about an awkward preteen who loves all things geeky but struggles with mental health issues and self-doubt, perfect for fans of Jerry Craft's New Kid. Eleven-year-old Tony Weaver, Jr. loves comic books, anime, and video games, and idolizes the heroic, larger-than-life characters he finds there. But his new classmates all think he�s a weirdo. Bullied by his peers, Tony struggles with the hurt of not being accepted and tries to conform to other people's expectations. After a traumatic event shakes him to his core, he embarks on a journey of self love that will require him to become the hero of his own story. Weirdo is a triumphant, witty, and comedic story for any kid who's ever felt awkward, left out, or like they don't belong. An adolescence survival guide that will give every reader the confidence to make it to the other side. Praise for Weirdo: "I've been singing the praises of Tony Weaver Jr. for years, and here, I'm proud to say, he's given me one more reason to do so. Weirdo is more than a graphic novel about bullying or misfits. It's a blinding light of a tale about a boy who fights to become himself. About an oddball who finds wonder in his own weirdness. It's a reminder that we all have a place. And people. And some of us have a particular point of view on the world. I'm so happy Tony is using his to bring such palpable joy, love, and imagination to it." �Jason Reynolds, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Look Both Ways "Tony�s Heartfelt story reminds us Why Embracing Individuality Radically Defies Obstacles." �Jerry Craft, 2020 Newbery and Coretta Scott King Book Award winner for New Kid "Weirdo empowers readers to celebrate their own identities and offers hope to find the crew that will love you for all of your magnificent quirks!" �Jarrett J. Krosoczka, National Book Award finalist for Hey, Kiddo "Weirdo is a powerful story filled with empathy about the effects of bullying and how we can attempt to cope with it." �Dan Santat, 2023 National Book Award Winner for A First Time for Everything (less)

Weirdo | Tony Weaver, Jr.

This is a good graphic memoir about a nerd in middle school. Weaver takes us through his bullying, mental health, and found-familiy journey with sensitivity and humour.

Tony Weaver‘s message to embrace your weird is a valuable one! His sharing of his mental health journey in middle school is just as important. I loved seeing him climb out, make friends, and use his ideas to make a difference.
