Help! Somebody Get Me Out of Fourth Grade

Help Somebody Get Me Out of Fourth Grade by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver is a funny book about a fourth grader named Hank Zipzer who lives in the big apple, New York. Hank is always getting himself in trouble, partially because he’s a class clown, and partially because he’s dyslexic. Hank hates his teacher Ms. Adolf and can’t wait to go to fifth grade. The only problem is, he may have to redo fourth grade.

During this book Hank’s parents have a parent teacher conference with Hank’s teacher. Hank doesn’t want his parents to find out he has to redo fourth grade. So Hank decides to try to pull off one big move to make sure his parents don’t go to that conference. While Hank is listening to his cousin’s radio show, his cousin has a contest and if you win you get tickets to a rock concert in Philadelphia. It’s a contest when you need to know the names of cities. So Hank gets his annoying sister Emily, and her friend Robert, who Hank hates, to help him win the contest. He gets Robert because he’s an encyclopedia that has a head, arms, and legs. Robert won the radio contest for Hank. Hank thought he was in the clear for his parents not going to this conference, but he may not be. First his parents have to want to go to the concert. Will Hank’s parents go to the concert? Will they not go to the parent teacher conference? Read this book and you can find out.
