Bookroo's summary

Alvin, a second grader terrified of everything, must confront his greatest fear: camping in the wilderness. Armed with night-vision goggles and a heavy-duty flashlight, he faces bears, darkness, and pit toilets. Can Alvin survive the wild with his dad by his side, or will his fears get the best of him? Join Alvin on a hilarious and heartwarming adventure as he learns to tackle his anxieties and embrace new experiences.

From the publisher

Here’s the second 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 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. 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
