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.
From rising star Tony Weaver, Jr., Weirdo is a triumphant and comedic story for any kid who's ever felt awkward, left out, or like they don't belong--perfect for fans of Jerry Craft's New Kid.
