SynopsisAlvin Ho is a shy second-grader who lives in Concord, Massachusetts. Alvin has many fears in life, among them elevators, tunnels, wasabi, and, most of all, speaking up at school--in fact, he's never once uttered a word in class. Episodic chapters take readers along as Alvin makes his way through the school year during which he must face such adventures as piano lessons with an intimidating teacher, encounters with the class bully, and meetings with his psychotherapist. Will any of these experiences help Alvin overcome his nervousness about speaking in public? Occasional brushed artwork illustrations accompany the text of this chapter book.

Publisher's NoteAlvin Ho is back, and this time he’s facing his biggest fear: The Great Outdoors.
Alvin Ho 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.
Lenore Look’s touching, drop-dead-funny chapter book about an Asian-American second grader—with illustrations by
New York Times bestselling illustrator LeUyen Pham—is perfect for beginning and reluctant readers alike, and has tons of boy appeal.
