Eleven-year-old Tony Weaver, Jr. loves comic books, anime, and video games, and idolises the heroic, larger-than-life characters he finds there. But his classmates all think he’s a weirdo. Ostracised and bullied by his peers, Tony struggles with the hurt and depression of not being accepted and hopes that if he can conform to other people’s expectations, those feelings might dissipate. But, try as he might, he is unsuccessful and spirals deeper into the dark thoughts and feelings that plague him. Cut off from his peers and the media he loves, and unaware of how to broach the subject of his feelings and seek help, Tony attempts suicide. In the wake of his unsuccessful attempt, Tony’s family surrounds him with love and support, and his life begins to change for the better. Tony starts seeing a therapist to talk through his feelings and enrolls in a new school whose aim is to foster creativity. As Tony navigates a new school, new friendships, and first crushes, he finds himself growing into the hero he’s always aspired to be. Tony ultimately learns to love himself and discovers that the unique qualities that set him - and set all of us apart, ones that make us all weirdos - are, in fact, our superpowers.

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
