This was a good book. Sam gets into all kinds of trouble and poured water on a person and a dog because he thought they were a monster. This made me smile and I liked that!

I liked Sam Wu. They went camping and he tries to pretend he isn't afraid of anything. They thought there were aliens and they all get scared. The darkness separates them and their parent's campfire. A man with a dog shows them that the aliens were actually a meteor shower coming. I think my friends would like this book.

Sam Wu finds himself in trouble when his cousin visits him from Hong Kong and they plan camping. I liked the bit where they heroically clear up their doubts about a strange figure in the dark. I would recommend this book.

It teaches you to work together if you're afraid. Just ask a friend if you need help or if you're in trouble.

I really like how two characters were enemies but they came together to stop the imaginary monsters.
Doctor Viper Piccalilli 06.08.2023
In this book I quite liked the fact that Sam Wu kept saying he wasn't afraid of the dark when he actually was. I also liked the fact that he thought a dog was a massive werewolf. What I didn't like about it was that Sam kept on going into the other tents for no reason.
