"The book is about Hank who gets in trouble on the first day of fourth grade . He gets called to the principal's office on the very first day of school. Then instead of writing about what he did over the summer liked the teacher asked he makes a big project that goes all wrong and gets him into more trouble.i really liked this book. It was easy to read and pretty funny. It's in a series so there will be more of them to read."

    " I really enjoyed this book, it reminded me of my school days. I don't have learning difficulties but I was always in trouble no matter how hard I tried! A great little story and a nice break away from adult books. "

    " I was skeptical....can a celebrity.....especially one who so convincingly played the Fonz.....write a good children's book? The answer is yes. Full of humor, the main character (with a learning disability of some kind) is likeable and worthy of a series. "

    " Why haven't I read Hank Zipzer before now! This is a great kids book. It would be perfect for reluctant boy readers. Or, it would be a great read aloud for teachers of fourth grade. I think I taught Hank in my class. "
