This review is from: Help! Somebody Get Me Out of Fourth Grade #7 (Paperback)
This series gets better and better. In this adventure, Hank sneaks a peak at the teacher's register and sees 'redo' beside his name. Now he is panicked; he is going to have to repeat the fourth grade, and be in the same class as his brilliant younger sister. But rather than asking adults he trusts to help him figure this out, he devises his own plan. His plan includes getting his parents out of town so they will miss his Parent Teacher Interview.His plan is elaborate. First he needs to forget the slip two days in a row. And he wins a trip for them to Philadelphia to catch a Rock concert. Now his mother wants to rock, but his father who collects mechanical pencils and does crosswords, has no interest. Will he get them to Philly? Will they miss the parent teacher interview? Will he make it out of the 4th Grade? Read this wonderful story to find out. I have said it before but as someone with Dyslexia these books are eerily haunting. It is like reading a piece about my own childhood - my struggles, failures and successes. These books are meant for a younger audience but they are great for anyone who struggled with learning difficulties, even if diagnosed as an adult or university student. They are also great fun for a family to read together, or for those who know people with these special needs. (First Published in Imprint 2009-0-7-10.) Hank Zipzer Books: 1.

Awesome Hank Zipzer,
By Paige Zimmer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Help! Somebody Get Me Out of Fourth Grade #7 (Paperback)
Hank Zipzer Somebody get me out of Fourth Grade is about a kid who looks in his teacher's roll book and sees "redo" next to his name. He thinks he is going to be held back so he tries to win a trip to Philadelphia so his parents can go to a concert instead of parent-teacher conferences. But the plan backfired. I recommend this book to others who like funny books. When you read this book you want to keep reading because you want to figure out if he's going to get held back. I was in suspense throughout the entire book which made me want to keep reading and reading.

A 4th Grader Review,
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Help! Somebody Get Me Out of Fourth Grade! #7 (Hardcover)
"Help! Somebody Get Me Out of Fourth Grade #7 (Hank Zipzer)" is a book about a boy named Hank Zipzer who hates the fourth grade and is scared that he is going to have to stay back. Hank looked in the teacher roll book without permission and saw "redo" beside his name. So now, Hank has to keep his parents from going to the parent conference. Hank's dumb plan to keep his parents from going to the conference includes kidnaping them and taking them to Philadelphia. His plan backfired because Hank's parents heard him talking about the plan.In the end, Hank was wrong, he did not have to stay back, he just had redo a test. I did not like "Help! Somebody Get Me Out of Fourth Grade #7" very much. I did not think the book was interesting. |
