Bookroo's summary

Woodrow, often bullied and unpopular, meets Toulouse, the peculiar new kid in class. Despite his odd appearance and quiet demeanor, Toulouse excels in volleyball, impressing everyone. As they team up, Woodrow discovers Toulouse's true talent lies in friendship. Can this unlikely duo navigate school challenges together? Discover the heartwarming journey of acceptance and camaraderie.

From the publisher

Readers will find this charming, funny, easy-to-read middle-grade novel from the beloved Patrick Jennings an absolute hoot! When the new kid joins his class, Woodrow agrees with his schoolmates–Toulouse is really weird. He’s short–kindergarten short–dresses in a suit like a grandpa, has huge eyes, and barely says a word. But Woodrow isn’t exactly Mr. Popularity. The frequent target of the class bully himself, he figures that maybe all Toulouse needs is a chance. And when the two are put together in gym to play volleyball, they make quite the team. Toulouse can serve, set, and spike like a pro. He really knows how to fly around the court. But when the attention and teasing switch back to Woodrow, he learns that the new kid is great at something else: being a friend. Full of heart and laughs, Odd, Weird, and Little is another winner from the author of the Guinea Dog series.
