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.
PS 87 is having multicultural week, and Ms. Adolf’s class is putting on a “Foods From Around the World” luncheon. Hank makes enchiladas, and at the luncheon, Ms. Adolf piles her plate with lots of food. But after a few bites, her face turns bright red-one of the dishes is super-spicy! Ms. Adolf accuses someone of playing a mean practical joke and punishes the entire class with no recess until the guilty party comes forward. Hank realizes his trouble with numbers might have caused the problem-what if he accidentally used three cups of peppers instead of 1/3 cup? Will Hank be able to get recess back for everyone without getting detention for the rest of his life?

About The Zippity Zinger #4
Hank LOVES baseball. L-O-V-E-S it! Unfortunately, though, he’s not very good at the game. So everyone is surprised–including Hank himself–when Hank throws a zinger pitch at a practice for P.S. 87’s annual School Olympiad baseball game. Hank knows how he pitched the "Zippity Zinger"–it must have happened because he accidentally wore his sister Emily’s lucky monkey socks! Because of that stellar pitch, Hank has been chosen to pitch for P.S. 87 for the Big Game. The pressure is on–Hank’s got to wear those socks again, or risk blowing the biggest ball game of his life. The only problem is, Emily wants to wear the lucky monkey socks herself since she’s competing in the Brain Buster for the Olympiad. Will Hank be able to pull off another Zippity Zinger–or will he strike out?
