Description: Hank has never been fond of his sister's pet iguana, and their relationship worsens when she lays her eggs inside his science project. Inspired by the true life experiences of Henry Winkler, aka The Fonz, 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.
