"I Got a D in Salami" by Henry Winkler

Hank is just a kid like any in your classroom.  He isn't the smartest or the coolest but only trying to find his way.  My students were definitely able to relate to the differnt characters and losing homework and being friends with each other.  To them, it's another day in our school and in our classroom!  Also this novel is part of a series and will encourage students to continue the stories of Hank in the 5th grade. What will happen next?
