    Praise for Alvin Ho: Allergic to Camping, Hiking, and Other Natural Disasters

    “Readers can only hope that Alvin continues to describe in such wonderful detail his many allergic reactions.”
    —The Horn Book, starred review

    “While Look certainly embellishes at times for comedic effect, she has created in Alvin a character that is as real as he is irascible…Pham’s simple but vibrant line drawings leap off the page. Another triumph for Alvin Ho.“
    —Kirkus Reviews

    Series Praise

    “Look’s . . . intuitive grasp of children’s emotions is rivaled only by her flair for comic exaggeration.”
    —Publishers Weekly, starred review

    “Shares with Diary of a Wimpy Kid the humor that stems from trying to manipulate the world.” —Newsday
