Anh Do
"Always question your fear, Anh. There's almost never a good reason to be scared."
He is the brother of film director Khoa Do and has acted in several of Khoa's films, including Footy Legends, which he co-wrote and produced. In 2012, his TV show Anh Does Vietnam began airing.
What kinds of books does Anh Do write?
He writes a mix of adult memoir/nonfiction (notably The Happiest Refugee) and many children's and middle-grade fiction series such as WeirDo, Skydragon, Wolf Girl, Ninja Kid, E-Boy, Rise of the Mythix, Pow Pow Pig, Smarty Pup and The Champ.
Where should I start with his books?
For adults start with The Happiest Refugee. For younger readers begin with the first book of a series (examples on the page: Skydragon: Sky Dragon - Book 1; WeirDo - Book 1; Ninja Kid: From Nerd to Ninja - Book 1).
Are The Happiest Refugee and The Little Refugee about the same story?
Yes — both recount his refugee journey. The Happiest Refugee is his full memoir (My Journey from Tragedy to Comedy) and The Little Refugee presents the same true story in a form aimed at younger readers.
Does Anh Do write book series and are there box sets available?

Is there a recommended reading order for his series?
Yes — read each series in publication/number order. Most of his children's series are numbered (Book 1, 2, 3…), so start with the series' Book 1 and follow the sequence.
