Everyone's favorite neurotic second grader is back, in the most touching Alvin Ho book to date. In this fourth book in the Alvin Ho series, Alvin is facing something truly scary: the idea that someone he loves might die. When Alvin's GungGung loses his best friend, Alvin (gulp) volunteers to go with him to the funeral. Lenore Look and LeUyen Pham touch on a more serious subject in this Alvin book, but it's still filled with the same humor and wild antics fans have come to expect from the series.
LENORE LOOK is the author of the popular Alvin Ho series; in a starred review Kirkus Reviews called Alvin "refreshingly original [and] endearing." Lenore is also the author of several acclaimed picture books, the most recent of which is Polka Dot Penguin Pottery. Her picture books Henry's First-Moon Birthday and Uncle Peter's Amazing Chinese Wedding both received three starred reviews and were named ALA-ALSC Notable Children's Books.
