Brilliantly funny new series about the bravest scaredy-cat in the world

Sam Wu is NOT a scaredy-cat (except he is). When a trip to the Space Museum goes terrifyingly wrong, Sam begins a mission to prove to the school bully, and all of his friends, that he is a fearless space adventurer. A truly laugh-out-loud, voice-led and madcap story of ghost hunting, snakes and mischievous pet cats called Butterbutt, perfect for fans of Tom Gates, Wilf the Mighty Worrier and Barry Loser, and readers aged six plus. Look out for Sam’s jawsome follow-up adventure – Sam Wu is Not Afraid of Sharks! coming in July 2018. Katie and Kevin Tsang met in in 2008 while studying at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Since then they have lived on three different continents and travelled to over 40 countries together. In 2015 they got married in Palm Springs, California. Kevin was born in Copenhagen and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. Some of Sam Wu’s experiences are based on Kevin’s childhood. He currently works as a healthcare technology consultant. Katie was born and raised in Southern California and also writes YA as Katherine Webber. Katie and Kevin currently live in London. Sam Wu is NOT Afraid of Ghosts is their first joint novel.

Sam Wu is NOT afraid of ghosts is fiction . I liked the phrase "scaredy cat Sam" in the story it was funny. My favourite character was Sam wu because he is the bravest . I like the ghost bit when they tried solving the ghost mystery . Sam wu's friends are Zoe and Bernard . Sam wu's enemy is Ralph Philip Zinkerman the Third. Ralph Zinkerman the Third's sister is way nicer than Ralph Zinkerman the Third.

I did not like this book because I felt like it was't my style. This book was fictional. It was about Sam and his friengs going on a space adventure. I did not like it but I think my friend might like it.

Amazing! You may think that I like every book but think again! I love the book and the adventures but it just doesn’t have any challenge words. Now, challenge words are very important for my school so I try to get books that have them. Challenge words improve your vocabulary and make your writing better. Still this is a really good book and also read all the others pls they’re amazing I haven’t read them but u can before me

This book is a fiction. I enjoyed this book, this is also a very funny story. I would recommend this book to people who like adventurous and people who like the dark and pretend ghosts.

It was a fiction book and I like it as it's all about conquering your fears even-though people think you're scared of it still (like Ralph). I think you should read this book because it is ridiculous.
