The Happiest Refugee is an autobiography by Anh Do. It goes through the life of a young Vietnamese boy who becomes one of Australia’s most loved comedian. It’s really entertaining and hard to put down once you’ve started reading. It can be funny but at times can be very poignant as his family eek their way through life.

After reading it for our Year 9 English Topic it has become one of my favourite novels and it’s no wonder why it won 2011 Indie Book of the Year. 

 I can highly recommed this book.
