Title: Starts slow but picks up
Review: Alvin lives with his grandmother and incredibly overprotective mother in Washington DC. He's never so much as been allowed to go on an overnight to a friend's house. When a school project gives him the idea to do some primary research on his hero, Arctic explorer Matthew Henson, he manages to go up into the wilds of Canada and live the adventure of a lifetime.While so many stories of this vein seem to feature obnoxious bratty protagonists, Alvin was incredibly likable in that he was never ugly in that bratty materialistic sort of way. He did his best as an outsider to understand the new culture he was exposed to and rather than sitting around and letting people take care of his every need, he worked hard to pull his own weight.Ms. Napoli's writing and descriptions of the Arctic were wonderful. I'm glad I took a chance on this book.
