Inspired by the true life experiences of Henry Winkler, whose undiagnosed dyslexia made him a classic childhood underachiever, the Hank Zipzer series is about the high-spirited and funny adventures of a boy with learning differences.

It's science project time in Ms. Adolf's class. This is good news and bad news for Hank-he loves science, but he hates the report part. So Hank turns to TV to take his mind off things. But when the program directory scrolls by too quickly for Hank to know what's on, he decides to take apart the cable box to try to slow down the crawl. Great! Now Hank has found the perfect science project! But what he wasn't counting on was his sister's pet iguana laying eighteen eggs in the disassembled cable box. How is Hank going to get out of this one?

It is a really nice book not only for children but also for adults. The story in this book can happen in our real world, but the characters and the settings are all based on authors' imagination. that makes it be a realistic fiction. the story has a close relationship with our true world. It depicts the daily life of a boy who has learning differences. Many times, he thinks himself is stupid because of uneven ability shows in his study. He tries his best to focus on the study but he still got 3 D scores on his report card. In order to avoid the blame from his parents, he and his friends smash his report card in his mom's meat grinder, which caused a lot of problems. In the end, the boy decides to speak out all the truth under his grandfathers' enlightenment. His parents eventually understand his learning differences. his parents and teachers begin to support him to study in his way. The end of the story really touched me. The story uses a unique perspective let the readers get familiar with learning differences. Children can learn how to treat with their peers who may have learning differences. for parents or teachers, this book is also useful to consider how to support students with learning differences. It can be used in literature class, social study class, and reading class. ( )

Book description
It's report card day-the most dreaded day in Hank's school year. And when Hank gets his grades, they're his worst nightmare come true: a D in spelling, a D in reading, a D in math. After school, Hank and his friends go to his mom's deli. His mom is on the prowl-she knows a report card day when she sees one. Hank tries to stall her, but she's going for his backpack. He's cornered. Hank hands the report card off to his friend Frankie, who gives it to his friend Ashley, who gives it to Robert, who puts it into a meat grinder! Hank watches as his Ds are ground into a big salami, and this particular salami is being made for a very important client. How will Hank get out of this one?
