A classroom play takes an unexpected turn

Hank wants the lead role of Aqua Fly in his second-grade class play, but nerves leave him buzzing instead of delivering his audition. His teacher gives him a silent part as a bookmark—small on the page, but important when another performer freezes during the show. The setup brings together classroom humor, performance jitters, and a chance for Hank to contribute in an unexpected way. The easy-to-read format and school-play setting keep the story grounded in familiar childhood experiences.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers ages 4–8 beginning to read independently
  • Children who enjoy funny stories set at school
  • Readers interested in plays, auditions, and classroom mishaps

Book overview

In the first book of this bestselling easy-to-read series, Hank tries out for the second-grade class play!

Hank is a kid who doesn't try to be funny, but he somehow always makes the kids in his class laugh. He's pretty bad at memorizing stuff, and spelling is his worst subject. (But so are math and reading!) In the first book in this new series, Hank's class is putting on a play, and Hank wants the lead part: Aqua Fly. But he freezes in his audition and can only buzz like a fly. His teacher creates a special part for Hank, a silent bookmark. This may seem like an insignificant role, but when his enemy, Nick McKelty, freezes during the performance, it's up to Hank to save the play!

This bestselling series written by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver is perfect for the transitional reader. With a unique, easy-to-read font, endless humor, and characters every kid would want to be friends with, any story with Hank is an adventure!
