This review is from: Barfing in the Backseat #12: How I Survived My Family Road Trip (Paperback)
The more I read this series the more I love it. Few series could hold my attention past 3 or 4 books yet this one is doing an admirable job. Not only am I excited about reading the books I have not finished yet, I am looking forward to those not yet published. Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver do an amazing job of capturing the angst, struggles and feelings of a young student struggling with a learning disability. I have said it before but reading parts of these books is like reading segments from my own childhood and my personal struggles with dyslexia.In this segment of Hank's journey, the family is taking a road trip over the Christmas Holidays. Each member gets to choose a stop along the way. Hank's father, Stanley, started it all by wanting to go to the National Crossword championship. His mother, Randi, chose an organic bee farm; his sister a science museum, and Hank chose a roller coaster park. It looked like it would be a great vacation. Then on the last day of school he is handed a homework pack to help give him an advantage after the break. Once his father finds out about it, Hank's problems begin; he must complete it or he cannot go to the roller coaster park. But vacation and travel and hotels are so much fun he keeps putting it off, then he accidentally leaves it behind at one of the hotels. Hank tries to jump through all kinds of hoops to keep his parents from knowing he lost the package but in the end realized, maybe too late, that the truth is always the best plan. This is another great book in an awesome series.

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE HENRY WINKLER,
By Sunnie Nguyen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Barfing in the Backseat #12: How I Survived My Family Road Trip (Paperback)
1ST OF ALL; I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FROM KIDS AGES 8-12. THEY MAY SOUND LIKE DUMB BOOKS, BUT HENRY WINKLER'S WRITING STYLE IS ENJOYABLE AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. I ALSO ENJOYED READING THE OTHER 11 BOOKS. IF YOU'VE NEVER READ ONE OF HENRY WINKLERS BOOKS, START READING THEM AND YOU'LL BE ZOOMING THROUGH THE BOOK IN NO TIME. ANYONE OVER THE AGE OF 12 MIGHT THINK THESE BOOKS ARE DUMB BUT I JUST READ THEM FOR THE FUN OF IT.IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BUY THIS BOOK BUT HAVEN'T READ THE OTHER 11, IT'S OKAY BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS PRETTY MUCH EXPLAINED TO YOU. YOU CAN READ THEM IN ANY ORDER. HAPPY READING! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

This series is soooo cool for both boys and girls ages 3rd-???. I teach 3rd grade and these are my kids' favorite read alouds. I have an 11 year old daughter and this is the first series she has been "into". They are funny, with lots of elementary school humor and words they find hilarious.Fun stuff! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
