Astrid is afraid of the dark and doesn't want to go on her family camping trip. But her twin brother, Apollo, is excited. When they encounter scary things such as crawly bugs and the creepy dark, Apollo helps his twin through them. And when they encounter the scariest thing of all, Astrid might just be the one to save the starry campout.
"I absolutely loved reading this fun, humorous chapter book series-the very first that features a Hmong American family. The twins, Astrid and Apollo, tackle adventures that are relevant to all kids everywhere, and they know they always have the love of their family to fall back on. I am excited for young readers to meet Astrid and Apollo-the new dream team for everyone's bookshelves!"
Christina Soontornvat, Author: A Wish in the Dark and Diary of an Ice Princess
"Loved this sweet adventure that finds Hmong Minnesota twins Astrid and Apollo camping for the first time. Mosquito-adverse and smelly-bathroom-hater Astrid was my younger self. I can't wait to follow the twins on their next escapade!"
Stacey Lee, award-winning author of The Downstairs Girl
"A sweet and funny early chapter for young readers about twin siblings who go on a family campout for the first time. Introduction of Hmong words and foods made this story even more special."
