Summer School! What Genius Thought That Up? Review by Nick N.

Summer School! What Genius Thought That Up? by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver is one of the funniest books I've ever read. The main character in this book is Hank Zipzer. He lives in New York city. Hank has a couple of problems with school. One is Hank is consistent at getting in trouble, partially because he's a class clown. Another problem is Hank has dyslexia, so he doesn't get the greatest grades in school. In result Hank is now stuck in summer school. He hears his to best friends, Ashley Wong and Franky Townsend, are doing a magic trick at a luau party. Hank's father says he can go to the luau, but there's only one problem. He has to get a plain old A, not an A-minus on his Albert Einstein project in summer school.


In this book Hank changes completely on his current state of mind on school. He decides to take school seriously so he can go to the luau. The first problem Hank runs into is he has no idea who this "Albert Einstein dude" really is. So Hank talks to his Grandfather he calls "Papa Pete". Papa Pete takes Hank to the New York public library. The first thing they do is get Hank a library card. Then they go to get some books on Albert Einstein. Hank reads up on Albert Einstein, and he practices his magic trick with Frankie and Ashley. Soon enough the big day came that would decide if Hank would be at the luau or not. Will Hank be at the luau? Read this book to find out!


This book to me was a really funny one. This book is right for you if you enjoy laughing, and action. I think anyone who reads this book will enjoy it. Also, this book is the eighth book in the series. I hope everyone who reads this review will read this fantastic book.
