Description

Josh thinks Fizz is dentally challenged and fluent in gibberish. Fizz thinks Josh is the Prince of Handsomeness. They're destined to work together at Marigolds Old People's Home. Being fourteen has never been so weird.

Quick Summary

When Josh first calls Fizz a dentally challenged gibberish speaker, the duo launches into a wild, heartwarming partnership at Marigolds Old People's Home that feels like a comedy of errors. Kids will love the nonstop banter, the ridiculous misunderstandings, and the unexpected moments of kindness that turn every visit to the retirement home into a series of goofy surprises. If your kid likes Diary of a Wimpy Kid's sarcastic humor, they'll find the same mischievous spirit in Weird, where every awkward situation is packed with laugh-out-loud jokes. It works best for kids in grades 4 through 7, roughly ages 9 to 13, who enjoy quirky, relatable stories with a dash of humor and heart.
