Here s the sixth book in the beloved and hilarious Alvin Ho chapter book series,
which has been compared to Diary of a Wimpy Kid and is perfect for both beginni
ng and reluctant readers.
Alvin, an Asian American second grader who s afraid
of "everything, " is taking his fears to a whole new level or should we say, con
tinent. On a trip to introduce brand-new baby Ho to relatives in China, Alvin s
anxiety is at fever pitch. First there s the harrowing 16-hour plane ride; then
there s a whole slew of cultural differences to contend with: eating lunch food
for breakfast, kung fu lessons, and acupuncture treatment (yikes!). Not to menti
on the crowds that make it easy for a small boy to get lost.
From Lenore Look
and "New York Times" bestselling illustrator LeUyen Pham comes a drop-dead-funny
and touching series with a truly unforgettable character.
