Hi there, I’m Hank.

Here’s what you need to know about me: I don’t try to make the kids in my class laugh, but somehow I do. Spelling is my worst subject. (Come to think of it, so are math and reading!) I try hard–I really do. So why does my brain always freeze into a Popsicle?

More than anything, Hank wants a dog. But before he can get one, his dad is laying down some rules. First, Hank has to improve his grades. Next, he has to prove that he’s a responsible pet owner. Can Hank get his brain to cooperate, so he can get his new furry best friend?

From Emmy Award-winning actor Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver comes a new out-of-this-world middle-grade series No one is shocked by the six-eyed alien strolling around the Universal back lot. The tourists just think he’s part of the show. It doesn’t take long for Buddy to land a role on a popular TV show, playing (of course) an alien. He becomes an overnight heartthrob and is suddenly faced with legions of adoring fans, rides in glamorous limos, and appearances at “all-the-shrimp-you-can-eat” red carpet parties. But can Buddy maintain his secret identity while in the spotlight?

The Crunchy Pickle has a new sandwich guy. It’s Hank! Take Your Child to Work Day gives him the chance to help his mom at the deli. But Hank isn’t the best at remembering orders–or following instructions. So when an important order comes in,

When Hank hears that his class is putting on a play, he’s the only one who’s not excited. That’s because every time he tries to read the script, his brain swirls, and it feels like his head is filled with soggy oatmeal! Can Hank get his act together and get a part?

A famous author is coming to speak at Hank’s school, and he may even get the special honor of introducing her at the assembly! The only problem? Hank has never actually read one of her books. In fact, he’s never finished reading any book! But if there’s anyone who can get creative when in a pickle, it’s Hank Zipzer!

When Hank’s sister, Emily, is upset that she can’t have a reptile show at her birthday party, Hank comes up with a plan of his own. He’ll disguise himself as the Westside Wizard and pull a snake out of thin air! But learning the trick is harder than he thought. Can Hank pull it off without blowing his cover?

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. 

It’s science project time in Ms. Adolf’s class. This is good news and bad news for Hank-he loves science, but he hates the report part. So Hank turns to TV to take his mind off things. But when the program directory scrolls by too quickly for Hank to know what’s on, he decides to take apart the cable box to try to slow down the crawl. Great! Now Hank has found the perfect science project! But what he wasn’t counting on was his sister’s pet iguana laying eighteen eggs in the disassembled cable box. How is Hank going to get out of this one?

It’s report card day—the most dreaded day of Hank Zipzer’s school year. And when Hank gets his grades, they’re his worst nightmare come true: a D in spelling, a D in reading, a D in math. This is not going to make his parents happy. This will certainly get him grounded for life. Hank needs help. And he needs it fast!

It’s science-project time in Ms. Adolf’s class, and Hank is in the doldrums. He loves science–the experiments, the labs, the equipment–but he hates the report part–the hypothesis, the methodology, the conclusions. Hank turns to TV to take his mind off things, which becomes another annoyance when the program directory scrolls by too quickly for Hank to know what’s on when. So he decides to take apart the cable box to try slowing down the crawl. And it’ll make a great science project, too! But Hank wasn’t counting on his sister Emily’s iguana laying eighteen eggs in the disassembled cable box!

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?

Buddy Burger knows how to deliver an out-of-this-world adventure!
Now that Buddy has faced off against Citizen Cruel and become a fan favorite on
his Hollywood sitcom, he’ll finally catch a break, right? Not likely with the show’s
big prime-time special coming up and his planet’s leader still set on returning
Buddy home. Will Buddy be able to hide his secret identity from his swarms of
fans while also avoiding an evil parrot and the Supreme Leader himself–plus all
the usual pitfalls and stresses of Tinseltown? Or will Buddy’s rising start come to
an abrupt end?

Buddy Burger is back and ready for his close-up!

After escaping his oppressive red dwarf planet and landing a role on a popular Hollywood sitcom, Buddy Burger’s new life on Earth seems destined for high-flying success. His legions of fans love his six
eyes, his suction cup feet, and even his excessive need for avocados! It seems nothing can stop his rise to superstardom–until the arrival of the merciless Citizen Cruel, a shape-shifting member of the evil
squadron, sent from his home planet to capture him and bring him home by any means necessary.

Will Buddy conquer this clever and unpredictable enemy? How long can he continue to keep his alien identity secret from his friends and fans? Is there enough guacamole on Earth to sustain him? And chips to go with it?

Hank is nothing like his cousin Judith Ann. She’s perfect. He’s not. She’s a great chef. He’s not. But when someone drops out of Judith Ann’s cooking competition,
Hank has the chance to show her that he can cook as well as she can, if not better. At least he hopes so! Or does he?
