  11. Alvin Ho was hillarous! If you need some tips this is a great book. I still can't believe he didn't talk throughout the school year. If I tried that I would be in big trouble.

  14. Alvin Ho is a really funny character. He's afraid of lots of things like school, girls and the dark. He always wants to be sick so he doesn't have to go to school. He's really happy when the school shuts down. We wonder why he can't talk in school. This is an awesome book you'd like if you have a good sense of humor.
