This laugh-out-loud follow-up to Alvin Ho- Allergic to Girls, School, and Other Scary Things is perfect for kids who have outgrown the Magic Tree House series-- as well as reluctant readers-- and fills a need in the marketplace for series fiction aimed at boys.

Alvin takes on camping in the second book in the hilarious chapter book series that tackles anxiety in a fun, kid-friendly way. Perfect for both beginning and reluctant readers, and fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

Alvin, an Asian American second grader who's afraid of everything, is back, and his worst fear has come true- he has to go camping. What will he do exposed in the wilderness with bears and darkness and . . . pit toilets? Luckily, he's got his night-vision goggles and water purifying tablets and super-duper heavy-duty flashlight to keep him safe. And he's got his dad, too.

This is ahumorous and touching series about facing your fears and embracing new experiences-with a truly unforgettable character-from author Lenore Look and New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Honor winning illustrator LeUyen Pham.


"Alvin's a winner." -New York Post
Industry Reviews
Starred Review, The Horn Book Magazine, September/October 2009:
"Readers can only hope that Alvin continues to describe in such wonderful detail his many allergic reactions."

Kirkus Reviews, May 19, 2009
"While Look certainly embellishes at times for comedic effect, she has created in Alvin a character that is as real as he is irascible, and the tender relationships among the members of the Ho family provide a sturdy backbone for all the silliness. Pham's simple but vibrant line drawings leap off the page. Another triumph for Alvin Ho."
