(2) 1-3 Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. In his third book, Alvin meets two history re-enactors (Emerson and Alcott) on a field trip; is invited to two same-day-and-time birthday parties; and finds himself dressed in girls' clothing not once but twice. Speeding along like a hyperactive kid, Look's story doesn't give even reluctant readers a chance to lose interest--they'll be fervently wishing for more Alvin.
