Hank Zipzer - Softcover

Henry Winkler is an actor, producer and director. He is probably most famous for his role as the Fonz in the 1970s US television sitcom, Happy Days. But if you ask him what he is most proud of, he would say, "Writing the Hank Zipzer books with my partner, Lin Oliver." He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Stacey, their three children and two dogs. Lin Oliver is a writer and producer of movies, books and television programmes for children. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Alan, and their three children.

In the second installment in the Hank Zipper series, Hank's misadventures as an underachiever continue as he navigates fourth grade. Henry Winkler's frenetic pace gives listeners the sense that he is, indeed, Hank. The hapless fourth-grader shows imagination and creativity as he tries to keep his report card out of his parents' hands. Disaster with a new client of Mom's Crunchy Pickle (Veggie) Deli becomes a serendipitous blessing when Hank and his parents are set on the path to solve to his underachievement curse. Henry Winkler gives each character, especially Hank and Papa Pete, distinct, realistic voices and personalities. This is sure to be a hit, in or out of the classroom.
