Hank Zipzer

Hank is looking forward to having a new form teacher at school, rather than Miss Adolf. However, he discovers that his new teacher, Miss Goodison wants the class to talk about their feelings and problems in class. Even worse, she wants Hank to discuss his dyslexia and the rest of the class to write poetry about him. It's too much for Hank and he sets out, with Frankie and Ashley's help, to get Adolf back again.

Mr Joy's latest scheme sees the pupils of Westbrook vying to produce the best vlogs and videos for the school intranet. When Hank is humiliated by Nick McKelty he vows to outdo him with his next vlog. But is Hank really willing to sacrifice what little dignity he has in order to succeed? Meanwhile, Stan and old enemy Mick McKelty (Nick's dad) find themselves facing off against each other when both sign up for Mr Rock's after-school choir.

Hank accidentally gets his friends' copies of worldwide publishing sensation Alien Adventures confiscated by Miss Adolf and has to put things right before the author herself makes a very special visit to Westbrook.

A film crew is coming to the school to make a documentary. Everyone comes into school very excited, particularly Mr Joy who intends to be onscreen as much as possible. By a series of accidents, Hank becomes the central figure in the documentary, causing himself stress and putting a strain on his relationship with Frankie and Ashley (who were meant to be sharing the limelight with him). Mr Rock tries to escape the unwelcome attention of the film crew, while Rosa tries to use the opportunity to advertise the Deli. Ultimately it's up to Hank to try and sort everything out, win his friends back and get back to normal.

An elite sports centre opens at Westbrook and Hank and a team of no-hopers are forced to take on McKelty's team to try and gain access to it.
