Day of the Iguana — Henry Winkler; Lin Oliver

Hank Zipzer: He's smart. He's creative. He's funny. His pencils are sharpened. His binders are bound. He wants to do well in school -- he really does. He tries not to be lazy, like his parents claim he is. So why is he always getting into trouble?

It's science-project time which is bad news for Hank. He loves doing science experiments, but writing a whole report is another story. Finally, Hank comes up with a science project: he'll take apart the cable box to figure out how it works. But Hank wasn't counting on his sister Emily's iguana laying eighteen eggs inside the cable box! How will Hank finish his Project now and will he ever be able to watch TV again?
