Hank Zipzer: Holy Enchilada!

Holy Enchilada! (Hank Zipzer #6, the World's Greatest Underachiever) Holy Enchilada! by Henry Winkler


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Hank Zipzer is a forth grade boy with a lot of personality. He isn’t perfect, has interesting pets and cool friends. Children can relate to a character that can’t always do everything right. In this story, Hank has trouble making enchiladas because he doesn’t understand the fractions in the recipe. It is a cute story about a boy who makes a mistake and has to own up to it. We learn about friendship and responsibility while laughing. I can see how elementary school students could fall in love with this character.

As a writer, I try to read books in the genre I like to write. I am currently working on chapter books, so this book helped me to better understand what kids today want to read. Honestly, the second or third grade student the writer intended this story for would have enjoyed it more than I did, but I still felt it was a good book.
