Hank has never been fond of his sister's pet iguana, and their relationship worsens when she lays her eggs inside his science project. Hank does not like science reports and when he does decide what to do he discovers his sister's pet iguana laid 18 eggs in the cable box that he was going to use.

"Hank is nothing like his cousin Judith Ann. When she comes to stay with the Zipzer family while taking part in a junior chef competition, she gives off an air of perfection. She's an excellent cook, and doesn't let Hank forget it, either. But when Hank enters the competition, too, he finds out that he and Judith Ann have more in common than he thinks and it's not cooking!"--Amazon.com.
