Weird

by Jeremy Strong, Annette Chown (Narrator), Nik Howden (Narrator)

Josh thinks Fizz is dentally challenged and fluent in gibberish. Fizz thinks Josh is the Prince of Handsomeness. Doooom! Or is it? They're destined to work together at Marigolds Old People's Home - can Cupid's arrow strike among the Zimmer frames or is it all just too weird? Throw in Josh's wacky mother with her goats on the sofa and Fizz's goddess-like big sis and one thing is things will get a LOT weirder before they start making sense - and can the oldies really make their great escape... using tablespoons?

A hugely funny story about teenage friendships and relationships, for older children.

Honestly, "Weird" was just so fun. Even though I first read it in middle school, probably 15 years ago, it still brings a smile to my face!

The blurb does say it all, and I haven't much to add. But it was just a delight, how everything came together for the last moment, how no character was put to waste and felt well explored, how no thread was left hanging. The ending? BAM! Didn't see it coming. It was really funny, and I wouldn't mind rereading it as a young adult.

Edit: Damn! Have been looking for this book like 10 years on now. Sooo good. It made me laugh so hard! Unfortunately think it's been lost to time, no idea where I put it. Must remember to re-order sometime.

I loved this book so much! I read it about five times in a row (maybe I'm exaggerating). It was funny, and different.

I used to adore this book when I was younger and at 16 I decided to pick it up again and I still love it 😂
