Perfect for both beginning and reluctant readers, and fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid Alvin Ho, an Asian American second grader, is afraid of everything. For example, what could possibly be so scary about a birthday party? Let Alvin explain: - You might be dressed for bowling . . . but everyone else is dressed for swimming. - You could get mistaken for the pi ata. - You could eat too much cake. - You could throw up. So when Alvin receives an invitation to a party--a girl's party--how will he ever survive? A humorous 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.
