Synopsis

This is the fourth book in the "New York Times" bestselling series about the hilarious adventures of a cheeky, loveable hero. It's time for the annual school sports day: the most anticipated day of the school year. When Hank Zipzer is chosen for the school softball team, 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? Yes, he can! Thanks to his lucky monkey socks. 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, and 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)
