Let Alvin explain: - You might be dressed for bowling . . . but everyone else is dressed for swimming. - You could get mistaken for the piNata. - You could eat too much cake. - You could throw up. So when Alvin receives an invitation to a party--a "girl's" party--how will he ever survive? From Lenore Look and "New York Times" bestselling illustrator LeUyen Pham comes a drop-dead-funny and touching series with a truly unforgettable character. "Shares with Diary of a Wimpy Kid the humor that stems from trying to manipulate the world. " --"Newsday" "Alvin's a winner. " --"New York Post"
