Hank has to learn the nuts and bolts of making a robot—and making a friend!
Hank's school is hosting its first-ever Build-a-Robot competition and Hank is ready to win. There's just one he completely forgot about the contest! While other kids have been working on their robots for a month, Hank has just two days to create an amazing robot that will wow the judges and win him the trophy. To make matters worse, there might be another problem, too. Hank has no idea how to build a robot! With help from Jaden, a robot expert at his school, Hank and his friends construct their robot, Stanley, just in time. But on the day of the competition, Stanley malfunctions! It will take Hank, Frankie, Ashley, and their new friend Jaden to get it back on track. Forget winning the trophy—Hank has to stop a robot on the loose!

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.
