Alvin Ho: Allergic to the Great Wall, the Forbidden Palace, and Other Tourist Attractions




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.
