There's just one problem: Hank is terrible at basketball. Luckily Dr. Dunk (AKA Hank's dad) and Hank's friends have his back. With a little help, Hank just might be what the team needs to win their first three-peat in PS 87 history!
This bestselling series written by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver is perfect for the transitional reader. With a unique, easy-to-read font, endless humor, and characters every kid would want to be friends with, any story with Hank is a slam dunk!

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.
