This book is number 12 in this series. This book is about a young boy named Hank and he was 2 best friends named Frankie and Ashley. He also has a little sister named Emily. Hank is not a very smart kid and his teacher knows this so she assigned only Hank a homework packet to complete during the summer break!!! Also his teacher did this because she is just plain mean. Hank was terrified! When Hank got home, his parents had to tell him something. He finds out that they, together as a family, are going on a road trip to a Crossword Convention, but the good thing is that he can invite one friend to come along with them. He chose Frankie because Ashley was at a Soccer Convention. They were also going to go to an amusement park on their way home. Hank was SOOO excited until his dad tells him that he has to finish his homework packet before going to the amusement park. The worst thing is that he LOST his homework packet in a hotel!! What is Hank going to do ?!?!?!?! I think this book will appeal to both boys and girls. I also think this book is hilarious and this series is the best one yet. I hope you take the time to read this book.
