Bookroo's summary

Hank's world turns upside down when his teacher is replaced by Mr. Rock, who suggests an after-school reading program, threatening Hank's tae kwon do sessions. Things take a surprising turn when Hank develops a crush on a girl in the program, only to find out she's related to his arch-rival, McKelty. With a unique scrapbook project offering a creative outlet, Hank navigates the challenges of school, friendship, and unexpected connections. Will Hank manage to balance his passions and newfound feelings, or will his nemesis complicate everything?

From the publisher

When Ms. Adolf hurts her back in a tango contest and goes on longterm leave, Mr. Rock (the music teacher) is called in as the sub. Hank is psyched . . . until Mr. Rock suggests that Hank attend an after-school reading program, which means he’ll miss tae kwon do. But when Hank gets a crush on a girl in the reading program, and when Mr. Rock says that instead of writing his autobiography (a class assignment), Hank can present his life in scrapbook form, well . . . life’s looking good. Then Hank finds out that his crush is actually the cousin of his nemesis, McKelty!

Readers will love Hank’s newest adventure, plus they will adore reading Hank’s scrapbook, which includes black-and-white photos of his school and neighborhood, newspaper clippings, memorabilia, and more!
