Synopsis

This is the first two hilarious adventures of a cheeky, loveable hero - now in one volume! According to ten-year-old Hank Zipzer, there are many reasons why he shouldn't have to do homework, e.g. every pen he owns has run out of ink, his thoughts are controlled by alien beings, he's allergic to lined paper...Or could it just be that Hank has dyslexia and doesn't want to look stupid? In this bind-up of the first two highly popular books in the series, Hank's ingenious plans to avoid doing his homework end in comic disaster as he accidentally floods his classroom and causes mayhem in his mum's deli, The Crunchy Pickle...by trying to hide his school report in the meat grinder! This is a New York Times bestselling series from actor-turned-writer Henry The Fonz Winkler and acclaimed children's writer Lin Oliver. It features all new illustrations and fully Anglicized text. It features 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.

Media Reviews
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)
