Book description
The fifth book in the "New York Times" bestselling series
about the hilarious adventures of a cheeky, loveable hero. Hank Zipzer
is on the school trip of a lifetime - he and his classmates are spending
the night on a sailing boat - so when school bully Nick McKelty pulls a
cruel trick, Hank is determined to get even. This is a "New York
Times" bestselling series from actor-turned-writer Henry "The
Fonz" Winkler and acclaimed children's writer Lin Oliver. It is a
vibrant reissue with all new illustrations and fully Anglicized text. It
is an engaging, inventive hero for the reluctant boy reader. Henry is
the ambassador of children's newspaper First News' My Way campaign,
which aims to promote greater understanding of children with learning
difficulties. He was awarded an OBE in 2011. "Boys who struggle
in school will especially appreciate the story, but this enjoyable,
fast-paced novel will draw other children as well." (Booklist)
"Humor, magic, a school bully, a pet dachshund named Cheerio, and a
pet iguana that slurps soup at dinner add up to a fun novel with
something for everyone." (School Library Journal)" 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.
