Alvin Ho 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.
Lenore Look’s touching, drop-dead-funny chapter book about an Asian-American second grader is perfect for beginning and reluctant listeners alike, and has tons of boy appeal.
First, Lenore Look, is afraid of spider babies, scary dreams, creepy old houses, and roller coasters. Second, she's the author of the Ruby Lu series. Ruby Lu, Brave and True was named an ALA-ALSC Notable Children’s Book and Ruby Lu, Empress of Everything, also an ALA-ALSC Notable Children’s Book, was deemed “exuberant” in a School Library Journal starred review and received a Gryphon Honor. The third thing you should know about Lenore is that she lives in New Jersey near a very scary bridge.

Reviews
Praise for Alvin Ho: Allergic to Camping, Hiking, and Other Natural Disasters"Readers can only hope that Alvin continues to describe in such wonderful detail his many allergic reactions."
--The Horn Book, starred review
"While Look certainly embellishes at times for comedic effect, she has created in Alvin a character that is as real as he is irascible...Pham’s simple but vibrant line drawings leap off the page. Another triumph for Alvin Ho."
--Kirkus Reviews
Series Praise
"Look's . . . intuitive grasp of children's emotions is rivaled only by her flair for comic exaggeration."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Shares with Diary of a Wimpy Kid the humor that stems from trying to manipulate the world.” —Newsday Expand reviews
