Hank Zipzer

Ms Adolf gives the pupils an assignment to write an essay about their summer holidays. Hank decides to build a model of his holiday at Niagara Falls.

The school play is looming and Hank is the lead star, but he is struggling to remember his lines and is facing trouble from school bully McKelty. Fortunately, he finds an unlikely ally in his maths tutor Heather.

Nick McKelty oversteps the mark when he picks on Hanks little sister Emily. To get revenge, Hank decides to make the worlds scariest haunted house.

Hank thinks new boy Ben is totally cool, and is amazed to discover that the feeling is mutual. But will Ben feel the same if he finds out about Hanks learning difficulties? Hank isnt willing to take the risk and so decides not to tell him. That plan has disastrous consequences when Hank misreads an experiment, leading to the evacuation of the science block.

A plan to work at his mothers deli to make money for a new pair of trainers is disrupted when Hank is given a school assignment to look after a pretend baby. He soon learns that he cannot juggle the two of them at once, but the real trouble begins when he accidentally swaps his fake infant for a real one.

It is the last week of term and most of the school are taking part in a fun activities week. Except Hank, who has to perform a presentation on Einstein.

Every year Hanks school photo matches his school report perfectly - theyre both terrible. But this year Hanks making sure his photo is picture perfect - until McKelty ruins it with a fountain of fizzy drink. Can Hank get clean and tidy and back in front of the camera before the photographer leaves? And will Emily get her place at the Institute of Scientific Excellence without her parents messing it up for her?

When hes not allowed to hang out at the shopping centre with Frankie and Ashley, Hank decides to show Stan and Rosa just how capable he is by being the first person ever to make it through Ms Adolfs weekend survival camp. Meanwhile, Papa Pete tries to make it through a single day of Emily helping out at the deli.

Hank and Stan are whipped into a frenzy when they hear that new headmaster, Mr Joy - keen to make a splash - is bringing their favourite footballer, Alex Broman to Westbrook Academy for an official visit.

When a seat on Westbrooks school council becomes available, Hank uses charm, personality and Rosas pastries to try to stop it from going to McKelty. However, Emily is trying to win the election another way - by convincing everybody that shes too cool for school.

With Emily in hospital having her tonsils out and a history project due, Hank decides that the best course of action is to take Emilys pet lizard into school.

After another bad parents evening, Stan decides to move Hank to another school. But Hank does not want to leave Frankie, Ashley and Mr Rock behind.

It is the last day of the summer term and Hank is determined to make it through without a detention. But an incident with an egg in assembly changes all of that.

The pupils of Westbrook try to produce the best vlogs and videos. When Hank is humiliated by Nick McKelty, he vows to outdo him with his next vlog. But is Hank really willing to sacrifice what little dignity he has in order to succeed? Meanwhile Stan and old enemy Mick McKelty (Nicks dad) find themselves facing off against each other when both sign up for Mr Rocks after-school choir.

A film crew is coming to the school to make a documentary. Everyone comes into school very excited, particularly Mr Joy who intends to be onscreen as much as possible. By a series of accidents, Hank becomes the central figure in the documentary, causing himself stress and putting a strain on his relationship with Frankie and Ashley (who were meant to be sharing the limelight with him). Mr Rock tries to escape the unwelcome attention of the film crew, while Rosa tries to use the opportunity to advertise the Deli. Ultimately its up to Hank to try and sort everything out, win his friends back and get back to normal.

Mr Rock is put in charge of doing an assembly on marine life, much to the annoyance of Adolf, who wanted to do it in the first place. As Rock pairs Hank up with Anya, Anya reveals that they are no longer an item. Hank didnt even know they were together! Hank then sets out to win back Anya, but Frankies advice to be cool and distant to Anya backfires terribly and she becomes more interested in McKelty. When it comes to the final assembly, Hanks saves Anya from a huge collapsing prop and all is forgiven, but Anya still has some bad news for Hank. Meanwhile Emily unaccountably finds herself in love with a boy with a floppy fringe and sparkly eyes and she tries to find a scientific explanation for it.

Mr Rock is holding a sponsored school sleepover and its the best thing ever... or at least it would be if Hank didnt also have to find time to make up for years of lousy Mothers Days by making his mum the perfect present. Can Hank and friends use the sleepover as cover for an emergency session of craft and design? Can Emily get away with bringing her beloved lizard Katherine to school? And will Stans plans to make Rosa the ideal Mothers Day meal turn out quite as well as he hopes?

An elite sports centre opens at Westbrook and Hank and a team of no-hopers are forced to take on McKeltys team to try and gain access to it. Emily does not like the idea and decides to do a one-person protest against it, only it does not work as the elite sports centre has power over the students. She gives up when she finds out they are planning to do the same to the science block. Meanwhile, Hank is unhappy when he does not get to go into the sports centre and goes against McKelty in a basketball tournament to show he is just as good as everyone else.

Its that time of year again - once more Miss Adolf is trying to get victims to sign up for her annual survival camp. With a rock festival being held just a few miles from Miss Adolfs camp, Hank and friends mean to sneak off to see their favourite band. Unfortunately they reckoned without Miss Adolfs favourite snitch, Nick McKelty. Meanwhile, Stan tries to impress Rosa with his spontaneity by sneaking her off to the festival too, while Emily is left at home to teach Papa Pete and his game-loving pals the perils of playing against a super-smart girl.
