Not to mention the crowds that make it easy for a small boy to get lost.<br><br>From Lenore Look and <i>New York Times</i> bestselling illustrator LeUyen Pham comes a drop-dead-funny and touching series with a truly unforgettable character.<br><br>“Shares with Diary of a Wimpy Kid the humor that stems from trying to manipulate the world.” —<i>Newsday</i><br> <br> “Alvin’s a winner.” —<i>New York Post</i>
