The Zippity Zinger (2003)

About book The Zippity Zinger (2003)

Hank Zipzer sees himself as an academic and athletic loser although he's optimistic and cheerful by nature, with parents who help him to achieve as best he can and good friends who accept him as he is. A bratty sister,her spoiled pet iguana, and a school bully keep the book from being too sweet. Hank is dyslexic and generally klutzy but he ends up being a pretty good baseball pitcher and he saves the day by winning the big game competition. I liked a lot of the book--Hank's angst, his superstitions (his sister's lucky socks, etc.) and his relationships. They all seem true to his age. While I think the book gives hope to kids with learning disabilities and gives insight to everyone else, I do wonder about the kids who never find a way to save the day. Still, there is always hope.
