5.0 out of 5 stars WOW........ fantastic book and author, 3 Jul 2008
My daughter bought this book at school, Henry Winkler was there talking to the children, he talked to every child, signed books and wrote a lovely comment in each book for every child! and the children, teachers and parents loved him for it, what a star! I remember when I was my daughters' age and used to watch Happy Days and think he was fantastic then, and having watched him today, interact with practically the whole school, Mr Winkler has gone up even higher in my estimation, the book is funny, witty and incisive, my children can hardly wait to read the rest of the series, my daughter has packed away judy blume and this generation has a new hero!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous Book and Series, 27 Dec 2008
By Steven R. McEvoy "MCWPP" (Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I read the first six books in this series back in 2004 and was completely blown away by them. Having a dual form of dyslexia, reading these books was like a flashback to childhood and my own early school struggles. Henry Winkler in an interview talks about his own struggles with dyslexia. The books tout Hank as the world's best underachiever. These books capture the essence of struggling with a learning disability. Almost all my report cards up to high school say "does not live up to potential" or "marks do not reflect ability". It was always hard, being considered dumb, or having to leave class for special education. That is what happens in this book.

Hank must write a report on his summer vacation, yet he lacks the skills to do this in the required way, so he comes up with the creative solution of building a model of Niagara Falls and showing his class his vacation. Yet like so many other good intentions this too goes awry, and Hank once again ends up in trouble at school and at home.

These books are great for anyone who struggles with a learning disability to know that they are not alone. It is also good for parents of such a person so they can understand better. Or for educators who in this day and age are dealing with more and more students with diagnosed learning disabilities. Or just an awesome book to read with some younger people in your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great entertainment, 11 Jan 2009
By L. Smailes "Noblesse oblige" (Northumberland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book for my 8 year old son for Christmas but whilst I was wrapping it I "accidentally" read the first chapter and decided that there was no way he was reading this book without me! So my 6 year old my son and I all curled up and read it together. My six year old is a good reader but would have struggled with some of the words alone, but no problems with me and her brother there to help out. Yes there are great messages in this book about getting through the education system when you are not "Average" but there is such great warmth, humour and entertainment in the book, my kids literally had to stop reading because they were laughing so much at one point. I am now buying all the other books in the series.
