[edit] Plot
Hank starts a new year at his school. He meets his new teacher and has to write an essay. Due to Hanks learning disabilities he doesn't feel comfortable writing an essay. Meanwhile, his grandpa, Papa Pete ask Hank and his friends Ashley and Frankie to put on a magic show at his bowling league game. His teacher made a statement to Hank saying she can't wait to see his creative report. What Hank decides to do is to make a model of Niagara Fall (the report had to be on his summer vacation and Hank went to Niagara falls over his vacation). The day he presents his project he floods his classroom. He gets two weeks of punishment at school and home. The problem is that now he can't do the magic show. But after a lot of convincing his parents, he is allowed to do the magic show.
