Description
1. Niagara Falls - Or Does It?
Hank
Zipzer is smart, creative and funny. He wants to do well in school – he
really does. He tries not to be lazy and he does his best not to be
late. So why is he always getting into trouble? And why does he feel
like the world’s greatest underachiever?
2. I Got a "D" in Salami
Hank
Zipzer’s report is due, and he’s dreading it. Then he gets his grades
and they are his worst nightmare come true: straight Ds. His parents are
not going to be happy. Hank needs help. And he needs it fast!
3. Day of the Iguana
It’s
science-project time, which is bad news for Hank Zipzer. He loves
science and he loves doing experiments, but writing a report? No way!
Finally he comes up with the perfect project – until his sister’s pet
iguana gets in the way…
4. The Zippity Zinger
It’s
time for the annual Olympiad: the most anticipated day of the school
year! When Hank Zipzer is chosen as his team’s softball pitcher, the
pressure is on. Can Hank lead his team to victory – even though he
thinks he’s the worst athlete in the history of the world?
5. The Night I Flunked My Field Trip
When
Hank Zipzer’s class gets to spend a night on a replica of a tall-masted
sailing ship, Hank is psyched! Then he learns that he’s going to be
Captain’s Assistant – and the best school trip ever quickly turns into
the worst one.
6. Holy Enchilada!
Hank
Zipzer can’t wait for the school Multi-Cultural Day lunch – no reading,
no writing, just cooking! Then his teacher takes a bite of the super
spicy enchiladas he’s made and the trouble really starts… Holy
enchilada! Did he accidentally use three cups of chilli powder? He
couldn’t have done … could he?
7. Help! Somebody Get Me Out of Fourth Grade!
It's
the end of the year parent-teacher conference and Hank Zipzer is in trouble,
again. Worried that he will have to repeat fourth grade, he comes up with a
plan – he will fix it so his parents are on holiday for the whole conference.
Of course, being Hank, the plan backfires. Will he have to stay in fourth grade
forever?
8. Summer School ! What Genius Thought That Up?
“Summer”
and “school” are two words that Hank Zipzer doesn't want to learn. But
there's no escape this time – summer school, here he comes! Will Hank
have to spend the whole summer bored to death inside a hot classroom, or
will he actually learn a cool lesson or two?
9. My Secret Life as a Ping-Pong Wizard
Having
made it through summer school, Hank thought his problems were over.
Little does he know, they are only just beginning… In fifth grade
everyone has to pick a favourite sport and specialize in it. Hank is
worried: he can’t run, he can’t catch, and he can’t throw. He needs a
plan – and fast!
10. My Dog's a Scaredy-Cat
It’s
Halloween and Hank Zipzer is determined to get his own back on school
bully Nick McKelty for laughing at his fancy-dress costume. Hank is
going to turn his living room into the scariest haunted house ever! But
Hank’s dog, Cheerio, is more scared than anyone. So scared, in fact, he
runs away. Have Hank’s Halloween high jinks gone too far this time?
