About the author
Anh Do
168听books440听followersAnh 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 the world鈥檚 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 鈥楢 superhero movie in a book鈥�.
All of Anh Do鈥檚 books are mega bestsellers and all rate between 4-5 star averages on websites such as 欧宝娱乐 and Amazon.
It鈥檚 clear that Anh is an exciting voice in literature, able to delight across age ranges and different genres with great success, and he isn鈥檛 planning to slow down any time soon.

can do no wrong in my eyes! I love both his WeirDo and Hot Dog! series, and his new series, Ninja Kid, is even more fun. Nelson Kane is a nerd. He lives on a junkyard with his Mum, Grandma Pat and cousin Kenny.
His Mum works as a cleaner because the junkyard isn鈥檛 doing that well and given the amount of food cousin Kenny can put away in his ultra skinny frame, he鈥檚 probably eating for five. Nelson鈥檚 Dad was a fisherman who sadly was lost at sea.
Grandma Pat is one of the coolest grannies around. She鈥檚 an inventor whose inventions work really well - sometimes. It鈥檚 handy that this grannie lives in a junkyard because all of this random stuff, including the kitchen sink, is at her disposal when she鈥檚 in invention mode, which seems to be all the time.
She looks to me like a caricature of actress Linda Hunt. She鈥檚 the school principal who at 1.45m (4鈥� 9鈥�) stands up to Arnie with her, 鈥淚鈥檓 watching you!鈥� in Kindergarten Cop. I love that movie! You may know her from something slightly more recent, like NCIS: Los Angeles.
Anyway, imagine a mad scientist grannie with a lab coat, fluffy bunny slippers, a tooth (yes, just the one that I saw), hair up in a messy bun with a wrench poking out in one spot and a critter that may well be the Loch Ness Monster poking out somewhere else. I鈥檓 sure Nessie will be identified in some later book as a mouse or something to that effect, but until it鈥檚 identified I want it to be Nessie.
So, nerdy Nelson wakes up on his tenth birthday to a spider perched on his nose. He proceeds to jump/fall out of bed and instead of falling flat on his face like he usually would, he does some impressive acrobatics and lands on his feet. 馃 Then he realises he no longer needs his glasses as he can see perfectly without them. 馃馃
As luck would have it today is the day he finds out he鈥檚 a ninja, likely the only one on the planet, and that鈥檚 going to come with some responsibility. But, shh! Don鈥檛 tell anyone because it鈥檚 a secret right now! 馃か
Before this book is over you鈥檒l encounter a bully, plenty of bananas, more bug spray than you鈥檝e likely ever seen and a giant thong. Oh, for those of you wondering what a thong is doing in a kid鈥檚 book, in Australia thongs are what you call flip flops, not what you were thinking of.
Jeremy Ley鈥檚 illustrations are so, so brilliant! The cover image gives you a preview of what鈥檚 to come. There are pictures on most pages and they鈥檙e simply awesome! The story comes alive in them and their humour mirrors that of the story. I don鈥檛 know how much interaction authors and illustrators have but these guys are on the same page in this book (in all possible ways).
As usual 鈥檚 writing has funny bits suitable for kids and adults, the family has interesting quirks, the story hooks you straight away and you finish the book wishing you had the next one beside you to start reading immediately.
Reader Beware: You will encounter a cliffhanger. While technically you could finish this book and be done you won鈥檛 want to be. If Anh鈥檚 other series are anything to go by there won鈥檛 be a dud among them and I can鈥檛 wait for the next one!

Exciting, fun, and with a bit of foreshadowing in there as well. My 4-year-old loves this so much, even though it鈥檚 more suited for older children. This series will probably become a regular, and we鈥檒l definitely be using this for reading practice when the time comes!馃憣

Age 鈥� 7+
Nelson Kane lives in a junkyard with his mum, weird inventor grandma and cousin Kenny. When he wakes on his 10th birthday, he has no idea his whole world is about to change.
Nelson is a klutz, petrified of spiders and has often been in tricky situations with Grandma鈥檚 gadgets. But today is different. Mum and Grandma have something to tell him. He is a ninja, just like his father before him. Nelson is in shock, but has to step up to his new skills as his town is attacked by mutant spiders!
Any fans of The Bad Guys, Pirate Blunderbeard and Pocket Pirates Series will love this fun format full of B & W Illustrations.

Ninjas, uitvindingen, familiegeheimen, hongerige vrienden, een verjaardag, en meer! Een heerlijk boek!
WAUW! Dit was gewoonweg geweldig! Ik moet meer van deze serie hebben! Hopelijk kan ik ooit boek 2 lezen, zo jammer alleen dat de Engelse delen bijna niet te vinden zijn (of ontzettend duur) anders had ik die meteen gekocht.
Dit boek gaat over Nelson een jongen die normaal altijd erg klunzig is, maar nu op zijn 10de verjaardag opeens heel anders is. Hij is een ninja! Net als zijn vader! Zo springt hij uit zijn bed met een geweldige beweging, hij vangt eten op zonder moeite. Samen met zijn gave oma (echt die vrouw is fantastisch en ze maakt allerlei leuke uitvindingen (al kun je al raden dat er een flink aantal zijn die je niet wilt uitproberen)) en zijn altijd hongerige vriend gaat hij uitvinden hoe hij een ninja kan zijn. Want tja, het is nou niet zo dat je zomaar eventjes ninja wordt. Ja, je bent wel anders, maar je moet alles nog helemaal verfijnen en verbeteren. Je moet oefenen. Ik moest wel lachen dat hij de banaan wel raakte maar niet de blikjes bij zijn eerste poging.
Dan zijn er slechterikken (en grote spinnen, HELE GROTE SPINNEN), er zijn ongelukjes, er is veel eten, en bergen humor en hilariteit. Je zult echt dubbel liggen.
Ik vond het alleen jammer dat er ook nog een pestkop was en dat het weer een rijke stinkerd was.
En dan is er nog het einde wat een cliffhanger was (al had ik het ergens wel verwacht dat die slechterik die persoon was). Al wil ik nu het volgende boek omdat ik meer over de situatie wil weten.
Het boek is ook heerlijk geillustreerd, echt een leuke stijl. Ik heb echt genoten van de illustraties, ze maken het verhaal nog leuker om te lezen.
Aanrader! Echt een grote aanrader!

Den h盲r boken har b氓de sina f枚r- och nackdelar. Bilderna 盲r m氓nga och hysteriskt roliga. Texten 盲r stor och det i kombon med alla bilder g枚r att vi har en bok att ge kids som vill ha "en tjock bok med lite text". Storyn 盲r... inte j盲ttebra. Inte heller fruktansv盲rt d氓lig men hade det inte varit f枚r bilderna vet jag inte om jag hade rekommenderat denna till kidsen.
Boken handlar om Nelsen som p氓 sin tionde f枚delsedag uppt盲cker att han har ninjakrafter. Han f氓r veta att hans sedan l盲nge d枚da far var en ninja och att han har 盲rvt hans f枚rm氓gor och d盲rf枚r 盲r han nu den sista ninjan i v盲rlden. Med hj盲lp av en uppfinnarmormor och sin kusin Kenny ger sig Nelson p氓 sitt f枚rsta uppdrag. Att besegra ett g盲ng muterade j盲ttespindlar.

Nelson vaknar upp p氓 sin tionde f枚delsedag och k盲nner sig annorlunda. Han ser otroligt bra och beh枚ver inte anv盲nda sina glas枚gon. Det dagliga snubblandet 枚ver allt och inget slutar med en perfekt volt. Mamma och mormor 盲r inte 枚verraskade d氓 Nelsons pappa var "den sista ninjan".
Ytterst roande att lyssna p氓 som ljudbok med Anton K枚rberg men annars finns det b盲ttre b枚cker med liknande tema f枚r barn.
Betyg: 3 j盲ttespindlar av 5

Read with my five year old, he thoroughly enjoyed it. Illustrations complement the story and are good for engaging younger readers, emphasised words across the text are also a good early literacy reading prompt. The story is fun and engaging and ends with a compelling lead into the next book. Highly recommend.

Me ha encantado!
Un libro ideal para los peques que empiezan ya a leer libros m谩s gorditos.
Es una historia divertida y adictiva que enganchar谩 a cualquier peque帽o.

Perfect for fans of The Bad Guys series by Aaron Blabey, or Ahn Do's previous series Weirdo this fun junior read is action packed and full of silly moments.
Nelson is a bit of a nerd and a total klutz but when he wakes up on his 10th birthday he discovers that he suddenly has Ninja superpowers! That's when Nelson finds out that his family isn't as ordinary as he thought: His dad wasn't a fisherman that got lost at sea - he was a daring Ninja that saved the world; And his Nana isn't quite the silly old lady Nelson previously thought she was - her inventions are just what he needs to save the town!
Armed with his Ninja backpack, a very clever sock-based disguise, and all the bug spray he can carry Nelson is off to save the day..... but who is the mystery man who is out to destroy the world???
Great fun for younger readers 6-10 who love action and lots of silly fun.

Read this fun book and put it directly into the hands of a 4th grader in the library. A PERFECT bridging book for those who love graphic novels as it has pictures but more text and is just awesome. Nelson is not really good at anything and is super clumsy--until, that is, he wakes up on his 10th birthday and is told he is a ninja. Everything changes! He also finds out that his dad who left a long time ago was also a ninja, which will play into the series. Can't wait to order more of these for the library.

Este ejemplar es gracias a la participaci贸n de Masa Cr铆tica M茅xico por Babelio espa帽ol.
Nelson es un chico de diez a帽os que se destaca por ser torpe y un debilucho, siempre esta pas谩ndole peque帽os accidentes听y cuando se despierta en el d铆a de su cumplea帽os puede notar algunos cambios en el y lo que m谩s le ha sorprendido es que no ha necesitado sus lentes para poder ver y que al caerse ha tenido reflejos y no se ha golpeado.
Nelson es un chico que siempre est谩 acompa帽ado de su primo Kenny, el que siempre est谩 pensando en comida y lo acompa帽a a todos lados. Ellos dos junto a la madre de Nelson y su abuela vive en un vertedero que siempre est谩 lleno de cosas que le son de mucha ayuda a听su abuela que siempre est谩 haciendo peque帽os inventos y que disfrutan probarlos y tener experiencias divertidas debido a las peque帽as fallas que tienen estos artefactos.
Nelson preferir铆a no perder el tiempo yendo a una excursi贸n al bosque por parte de su escuela, adem谩s de que como en la mayor铆a de los casos en esta tambi茅n hay un bravuc贸n y siempre est谩 molestando a Nelson y su primo, sin embargo, estos dos siempre tratan de ignorarlo. Cuando est谩n explorando el bosque Nelson se ha encontrado con una especie de telara帽a, pero sinceramente no cree que se trate de eso si no de otra cosa porque esta tiene una magnitud demasiado grande para una ara帽a normal, y cuando menos se lo esperan una enorme ara帽a esta detr谩s de ellos hambrienta de repelente para insectos.听Es el momento de que Nelson conf铆e en sus nuevas capacidades y dejar atr谩s el miedo y su inseguridad por su fuerza para salvar a su primo e incluso del ni帽o bravuc贸n.
La abuela Pat esta curiosa por los cambios en Nelson y espera entrenarlo cada d铆a ahora que 茅l sabe el secreto de su familia y del paradero de su padre, con la ayuda de sus peque帽os artilugios y en las nuevas habilidades de Nelson ayudaran a la ciudad de un ataque de insectos nada comunes y su primo Kenny estar谩 para ayudarlo.
Necesitan conseguir este libro porque una vez lo tomas ya no lo sueltas y te deja con ganas de seguir descubriendo las aventuras que tiene nuestro protagonista, espero pronto pueda salir la segunda parte porque me ha encantado cada p谩gina de esta historia.
Muchas gracias a Babelio espa帽ol y a la editorial Oc茅ano de M茅xico por el ejemplar y la oportunidad de leer esta historia gr谩fica incre铆ble y sorprendente.

Ninja Kid-volumul 1
Nelson este un b膬iat de 10 ani cu o stima de sine sc膬zut膬, se simte neputincios, st芒ngaci, tocilar...dar cu ajutorul bunicii Pat, a mamei sale, al v膬rului Kenny precum 葯i a dob芒ndirii calit膬葲ilor de ninja, aceste lucruri urmeaz膬 s膬 se schimbe, dar pentru acest lucru trebuie s膬 aibe 卯ncredere 卯n el.
"Nu pot s膬 fiu ninja! Sunt cea mai neputincioasa persoan膬 pe care o cunosc!...Puterea unui om nu sta 卯n mu葯chii lui,ci aici! 葮i si-a dus u葯or ar膬t膬torul spre cap...(bunica Pat)
..............tu e葯ti un b膬iat foarte puternic, Nelson, a ad膬ugat ea..de multe ori, oamenii renun葲膬 prea u葯or 葯i nu-葯i dau seama c膬 葯i-ar descoperi o mare putere dac膬 n-ar 卯nceta s膬 se str膬duiasc膬 . Iar str膬dania vine din interiorul t膬u.
Se pare c膬 nu este singura lui problem膬, el este supus 葯i bullying-ului, deseori fiind ironizat de Charles.
Mi-au pl膬cut 卯ndemnele, pove葲ele oferite de mam膬, de bunic膬 , precum 葯i evolu葲ia copilului. (Schimbarea st膬 卯n noi, trebuie s膬 avem 卯ncredere 卯n for葲ele noastre, s膬 nu renun葲膬m).

Fun. Characters are very likeable.
Setup beautifully to make things work naturally: having a grandma who makes inventions to sell in order to make ends meet while living in a scrapyard can provide just the right tools for a ninja; getting large sized sweaters for a birthday and needing to shrink them down while having a dryer microwave/washing machine that can inadvertently do just that and later on needing a shrink gun are just some examples of how the writer is able to tie things neatly into place.
The cousin/sidekick who is always hungry and eating has just the right amount of interactions / comments and timing to keep things light and funny without the character feeling forced and intrusive.
Could be improved by dropping the self doubt questions being spelled out as they are already well implied (i.e. what if I let everyone down?). Also the use of the heater torch on the solar shoes felt a little forced. Might have been better if the kid was just smart enough to turn around so he鈥檇 still be heading in the right direction even while running backwards.
The sock-mask lol. And then the glove-mask. Lol.
Illustrations fit perfectly.
Loved it.

Nerdy Nelson Kane lives with his Mom, Grandma, and cousin Kenny in a junkyard. When he turns 10, weird things start to happen. His eyesight becomes perfect over night. He can do ninja-like moves without trying. And a small spider becomes a giant evil nemesis. Luckily Nelson鈥檚 Grandma is an inventor, using odds and ends from the junkyard to create weird contraptions, like solar powered running shoes and a supersonic microwave clothes dryer. To help him realize his destiny, she gives him her finest invention: a special backpack with electrical outlets in it. Little does he know how soon he will need it, as a class trip to a forest turns into a frantic fight involving the giant evil spider. Bullies, poverty, and cryptic mentions of Nelson鈥檚 missing father amp up the relatability of this action packed story. There is black and white comic book art on every page and lots of bolded text to emphasize wild happenings. The first of a proposed series.
The story is slight, with no explanation given as to why the spider attacks or why Nelson has acquired super powers

Content: G
Nerdy Nelson Kane wakes up on his tenth birthday, scared by the spider on his nose and surprised that he might suddenly not be so nerdy. With the help of his inventor grandma and his hungry cousin, Nelson faces his new responsibility of protecting the world.
Waking up with sudden powers would be both incredible and frightening, and readers get to see both sides of that with the appearance of Nelson鈥檚 genetic birthday present. Silliness seems to be the name of the story. Everything goes, and the weird part is that sudden powers are the only thing treated as odd; everything else is taken in stride. Ley鈥檚 illustrations complement the story and its ridiculousness perfectly.
Nelson, his family, and everyone else in town appear to be White in the illustrations.
