From the publisher

Will Hank's school photo be another disaster on his parents' shelf of shame? The latest novelization of the TV series based on the best-selling books by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver. As seen on Universal Kids! Hank hates school photos. Something always goes wrong just before the FLASH -- a spider lands on his nose, he bends down to tie his shoe, or his "smart-guy" pose ends up looking like a "nose-picker" shot. But this year, Hank is careful to take every possible precaution to ensure he takes a good picture. Unfortunately, between messy art class, a chocolate cake, and school bully McKelty, Hank's picture-perfect appearance is in jeopardy. He'll have to do some quick thinking (and quick changing) if he wants to get a good portrait before the photographer packs up. This likable character created by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver -- inspired by Winkler's own childhood -- returns for another side-splitting adventure in the popular series set in a dyslexia-friendly font.
