Summary:

Hank thought that getting through summer school would be hard enough, but now everyone in the fifth grade is starting to focus on a sport-- and they're really good. Everyone, that is, except Hank. When Papa Pete suggests that Hank take up ping-pong, he decides to give it a try but keeps it top secret, as he thinks the other kids will tease him about it not being a "real" sport.Inspired by the true life experiences of Henry Winkler, aka The Fonz, 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.
