I bought this book for a 5th grade boy who was previously a reluctant reader, until he fell for the Hank Zipzer series. He finds these books engaging and funny, but has learned a lot of new vocabulary and been able to delve into other literary elements (figures of speech, characterization, plot, writers' craft) through reading books in this series. The main character, a 5th/6th grade boy with learning challenges living in New York. who has great adventures with his two best friends,would probably appeal to boys of similar ages, particularly if they face some learning challenges of their own. These books definitely affirm that it's OK to be different and reinforce themes of friendship and family.
I am pleased with the book, but really wanted the original cover, instead of the newer cover. When I purchased, it looked like the original cover, but received the new one. Other than that, love the product! :)
