When Hank Ziper's class gets to spend a night on a replica of a tall-masted sailing ship, Hank is psyched!

Then he learns that he's going to be Captain's Assistant - and the best school trip ever quickly turns into the worst one.

Inspired by the true life experiences of Henry Winkler (The Fonz in 'Happy Days'), whose undiagnosed dyslexia made him a classic childhood underachiever, the Hank Zipzer series of 10 books is about the high-spirited and funny adventures of a boy with learning differences.
