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 beginning 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, continent. 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 mention 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. Shares with Diary of a Wimpy Kid the humor that stems from trying to manipulate the world. "Newsday" Alvin s a winner. "New York Post""
