Henry "Hank" Zipzer doesn't try to be funny, but he somehow always makes the kids in his class laugh. He's pretty bad at memorizing stuff, and spelling is his worst subject. (But so are maths and reading!)
Hank's class is putting on a play, and Hank wants the part of Aqua Fly, but every time he tries to read the script, his brain swirls and he can't read his lines. Hank might not believe he has it in him to be the star of the show, but when his enemy, Nick McKelty, freezes during the performance, it's up to Hank to step in and save the play!

A new series about the irrepressible Hank Zipzer especially for younger readers – Here's Hank stars the same Hank as in the bestselling Hank Zipzer series, only this time he's in 2nd grade!
Henry "Hank" Zipzer doesn't try to be funny, but he somehow always makes the kids in his class laugh. He's pretty bad at memorising stuff, and spelling is his worst subject. (But so are maths and reading!)
Perfect for newly independent or reluctant readers, the series has black and white illustrations, short chapters and a font developed specifically for dyslexic readers. Hank Zipzer is based on Henry Winkler's own experience of growing up with dyslexia, and the books raise awareness of learning difficulties with sensitivity and just the right dose of humour.
Please Note: This series has also been published under the title Young Hank Zipzer.
