Hi there, I’m Hank.

Here’s what you need to know about me: I don’t try to make the kids in my class laugh, but somehow I do. Spelling is my worst subject. (Come to think of it, so are math and reading!) I try hard—I really do. So why does my brain always freeze into a Popsicle?

A famous author is coming to speak at Hank’s school, and he may even get the special honor of introducing her at the assembly! The only problem? Hank has never actually read one of her books. In fact, he’s never finished reading any book! But if there’s anyone who can get creative when in a pickle, it’s Hank Zipzer!
