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.

"We love to listen to books on tape in the car as we spend a lot of time driving. It is hard to find books that will appeal to my daughter (8) and my sons (6 and 3). They all really enjoyed these two books. The topics really hit home with them." — Cynthia (5 out of 5 stars)

" My boys, aged 6 and 8 LOVED this audio book. It helps that it was narrated by a young boy I'm sure, but the subject matter is perfect for this age group. Highly recommended. Girls stink. :) "
" This was so fun to listen to. Alvin is super funny and the narrator does a fantastic job. "
" Listened to this in the car on the way to PA. My boys loved it and could really relate to Alvins troubles. "
" I think this gives boys a bad reputation! "
" Cute book although not being the target audience, I found it to be a little repetitive and unrealistic. Enjoyable to listen to, especially with the young narrator. "
" Cute book about a second grader who has some social anxiety. He isn't able to speak at school, though he can at home and with his family. Cute. My favorite part is the colorful Shakespearean cursing that the family is a fan of. "
" I know the kids love these books, but.... "
" A unique likeable and scared character. Can't wait to read more. "
