Bookroo's summary

Hank's family road trip to a crossword tournament promises thrills at a roller-coaster park. But when Hank loses his crucial homework packet en route, the fun is at risk. With time ticking, can Hank and his friend Frankie retrieve the lost work and save their day of excitement? Join their quest filled with unexpected twists and turns.

From the publisher

Hank’s dad has decided to enter a crossword-puzzle tournament, and he wants to make a family road trip of it! So the family piles into the car—along with Frankie and Katherine the iguana (Hank and Emily each get to bring a “friend”). When they reach their destination, they’ll get to spend the day at a roller-coaster park during Hank’s dad’s tournament! The only caveat is that Hank has a homework packet to finish before they get there . . . which he somehow manages to lose at a stop along the way. Suddenly, Hank doesn’t feel so good . . . Can Hank and Frankie rescue the lost packet and get Hank on a roller coaster?
