About this item:

The brilliantly funny and first book in the SAM WU series, starring the bravest scaredy-cat in the world! Perfect for reluctant readers and fans of STEM, Tom Fletcher, Pamela Butchart and Sam Copeland's CHARLIE CHANGES INTO A CHICKEN. From the author pair behind new magic middle grade fantasy adventure, Dragon Mountain.

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.

Common childhood fears dealt with in a hilarious, sensitive and accessible way.

Review

‘Intensely likeable and sharply observed comic capers’ ― Guardian

Illustrated fiction is still having something of a boom, but if you're looking for a non-white protagonist it's slim pickings indeed. Happily Sam Wu is about to change all that. A hero of Asian heritage with a diverse set of friends... it's enormous fun, madcap and relatable ― Bookseller

This was a good choice for a follow on for a child who’s outgrown Astrosaurs. As a mum I have a niggle about the irresponsible attitude to getting a pet tho - would really have been helpful to see the responsibility of ownership discussed

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab!!

Absolutely hilarious. I regularly found myself cackling out loud while reading Sam Wu. Looking forward to the next books in the series. Have already bought copies for my nephews and the local school, where it has gone down well too!

Bought as part of a birthday present and apparently it was read within 24hours, I think that speaks for itself.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good story

My 8 year old really enjoyed this. I read it to him but he could have read it himself. He enjoyed the illustrations and the story.

Perfect book for any child!
