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

Hereâ€™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 whoâ€™s afraid of everything, is taking his fears to a whole new levelâ€”or should we say, continent. On a trip to introduce brand-new baby Ho to relatives in China, Alvinâ€™s anxiety is at fever pitch. First thereâ€™s the harrowing 16-hour plane ride; then thereâ€™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.
