She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Alan, and their three children.

From AudioFile
Hank Zipzer is a creative and likable kid. So why, oh why, does his every effort get messed up? There's a good reason, a learning difference that has gone unnoticed. The book's only glitch seems to be characters who throw out witty quips like 10-year-olds going on 25. NIAGARA FALLS, OR DOES IT? portrays itself as a child's book, but perhaps its real targets are adults, those most capable of helping a child who always seems to fail, despite his best efforts. Henry Winkler's presentation is enthusiastic, brimming with zest; his love and empathy for kids are endearing. This narration is a winner, and this title is a good choice for parents and their children to listen to together. P.H.M. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

This review is from: Hank Zipzer: I Got a D in Salami (Paperback)
I bought this book for my 9 year old great-grandson.
He must have heard about it because he was very excited when he unwrapped it at Christmas.

NIAGARA FALLS OR OR DOSE IT :Review,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Hank Zipzer #1: Niagara Falls, Or Does It? (Hank Zipzer, the World's Greatest Underachiever) (Audio Cassette)
If you are looking for a book full of creativity this is the book for you. In the book, Hank's teacher Ms.Adolf told him to be more creative on his essay about Niagara Falls. Hank thought about it and decided to go overboard and do paper-mache replica of Niagara Falls. This book is a very suspencesul book, like when Hank was grounded the night he and his friends were going to do a magic show. Then Mr.Rock the music teacher that was Hank's supervision during detention went to his house and talked to Hanks parents about Hank. Then Hank's parents let him do the magic show. I would recommend this to a friend cause its a really good book thats full of lesson and personality.

This review is from: Hank Zipzer #1: Niagara Falls, Or Does It? (Hank Zipzer, the World's Greatest Underachiever) (Audio Cassette)
I have two boys ages 8 and 4. At first they didn't seem that interested, but soon were laughing! My oldest son is struggling in school right now, and I thought these books would be a fun way to let him know that he is not the only one. It's perfect for this! Hank Zipzer easily points out all his acadamic flaws but is very creative in how he works around these issues. I can hear it now... "What would Hank do?" I'm looking forward to all the other books in the series. Thank you Henry Winkler for bringing laughter to what can be a very fustrating time in a childs life. And helping the parents and teachers see it from their point of view. This is a great book for all Elem. kids!
