About the author

Anh Do is a comedian, artist and also one of the highest selling Australian authors of all time, with total book sales approaching 3 million.

Anh’s first book, The Happiest Refugee, is his enormously popular memoir recounting his perilous childhood journey in a tiny boat from war-torn Vietnam to Australia. The book became an instant hit and has won numerous awards including Australian Book of the Year.

Anh has since turned his attention to children’s book writing.

Weird Do is an illustrated series starring Weir (1st name), Do (2nd name), a kid with a very unfortunate name. Aimed at the 8+ market, these books have gone off the charts as national best-sellers, resulting in 14 books total and more on the way. The first Weir Do won the Australian Book Industry Award for Older Children (2014).

Other children's book series include Hotdog, the adventures of a sausage dog and also Ninja Kid, the escapades of a 10 year old Nerd who discovers he’s the world’s last ninja.

In 2019, Anh released Wolf Girl, a series about a little girl who gets lost in forest and befriends a group of dogs and an enormous Wolf who become her family. Then came Rise of the Mythix, which marks the first of a number of sagas described by Anh as ‘A superhero movie in a book’.

All of Anh Do’s books are mega bestsellers and all rate between 4-5 star averages on websites such as Goodreads and Amazon.

It’s clear that Anh is an exciting voice in literature, able to delight across age ranges and different genres with great success, and he isn’t planning to slow down any time soon.

Reviews

[Hamish Weston · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Pig, a Goat, a Duck, and a Chicken with strong fighting power and skill now thats pretty interesting. This book is interesting and was a pretty easy read for me but it didn’t matter because short books are always well written if they are interesting. I enjoyed this book because it kept the detail and interest throughout the whole story. Five stars and really recommend this book to younger readers who like Anh Do.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

[Stef (Noveltea Corner) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pow Pow Pig and the Z Team are still trying to save the world and just when they think they've travelled to the correct time (2030), they realise they're actually back in 1845 and have to fend off the locals hunting down the Loch Ness Monster. This is another fun instalment of the series, featuring cameos by the Ninja Kid and H-Dude, which made for an entertaining cross-over element. The story is fast-paced, with plenty of jokes and humour thrown in for good measure. The illustrations on each page help tell the story for younger readers still developing their reading fluency as well as just being a great way to help visualise the story for age groups.

Thanks to the publisher for the review copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
