Alvin Ho: Allergic to Camping, Hiking, and Other Natural Disasters by Lenore Look


In case you missed it, my name is Alvin ho. I was born scared and I am still scared. Things that scare me include: [...]
The dark (which mean I have nyctophobia).
The great outdoors. (What's so great about it?) Lots of things can happen when you're outdoors:
Hurricanes.
Tornadoes.
Mudslides.
Landslides.
The end of the world. (1-2)

Alvin Ho is still afraid of... well, everything. He still does not talk at school, climb trees, or sleep with the light off. But when he gets locked in a cardboard box after a magic trick goes horribly wrong, Alvin's dad decides to take him camping. Just the two of them, alone in the woods, with bears, coyotes, and who knows what else. Needless to say, Alvin is less than thrilled. His older brother Calvin helps him prepare, and so does his Uncle Dennis. But when his little sister Anibelly offers to take his spot, is Alvin saved from the woods? Fans of the first book need to read Alvin Ho: Allergic to Camping, Hiking, and Other Natural Disasters by Lenore Look.
