  ALVIN HO IS an Asian American second grader who is afraid of everything—elevators, tunnels, girls, and, most of all, school. He’s so afraid of school that, while he’s there, he never, ever, says a word. But at home he’s a very loud superhero named Firecracker Man, a brother to Calvin and Anibelly, and a gentleman-in-training, so he can be just like his dad. Lenore Look is the author of Alvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School, and Other Scary Things and Alvin Ho: Allergic to Camping, Hiking, and Other Natural Disasters. She’s also the author of the Ruby Lu chapter book series—Ruby Lu, Brave and True and Ruby Lu, Empress of Everything, both ALA Notable Books. Lenore is also the author of several acclaimed picture books, including the ALA Notable Books Henry’s First-Moon Birthday and Uncle Peter’s Amazing Chinese Wedding. She lives in Randolph, New Jersey.
