ALVIN HO ALLERGIC TO GIRLS SCHOOL AND OTHER SCARY THINGS

Author(s): LOOK LENORE PHAM LEUYEN

Junior Fiction

ALVIN HO IS an Asian American second grader who is afraid of "everything"--elevators, tunnels, girls, and, most of all, school. He's so afraid of school that, while he's there, he never, "ever, "says a word. But at home he's a very loud superhero named Firecracker Man, a brother to Calvin and Anibelly, and a gentleman-in-training, so he can be just like his dad.
From the author of the ALA Notable Ruby Lu series comes a funny and touching chapter book--perfect for both beginning and reluctant readers-- that introduces a truly unforgettable character.

"Look's . . . intuitive grasp of children's emotions is rivaled only by her flair for comic exaggeration."
