About this item:

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

Sam Wu is NOT a scaredy-cat (except when he is). And when a shark TOTALLY tries to eat him at the local aquarium, he decides he's not going to take any more chances. So at his friend's birthday party at the beach, Sam refuses to dip even a toe in the water. Nothing could go wrong now, could it?

A wonderful belly-laugh of a book, perfect for young fans of Tom Gates and Pamela Butchart.

‘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

Also look out for Sam is NOT Afraid of Ghosts and Sam Wu is NOT Afraid of the Dark!

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.

Kevin was born in Copenhagen and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. Some of Sam Wu's experiences are based on Kevin's childhood. Katie was born and raised in Southern California. She has previously worked at Booktrust and also writes YA as Katherine Webber.

Awesome book that was truly enjoyed both by young and old. Introduced and explained new words and the simple plot was intriguing. Love the collection. A lot of LOL moments.

The much anticipated follow-up to ‘Sam Wu Is Not Afraid Of Ghosts’ that I SO enjoyed last time! (see my Review for that title)I was really excited about this great new series of books that began with the aforementioned title – I could hardly wait for this one, and had put my ‘Pre-Order’ in months ago!However, though this still had me in stitches too – and was hilarious up to about halfway through, it did begin to lose momentum somewhat. I’m REALLY reluctant to criticise it, as I SO wanted to continue to enjoy the series.Now, this DOES NOT mean I will not be Pre-Ordering the next title – just done so, don’t get me wrong; this was still a GREAT book, but I just felt it lacked the hilarity the first book had continually all the way through; it was just a tad better, because after about halfway, as stated, this one seemed to lose its way a bit... I guess there is a limit on how funny being afraid of Sharks can be, unlike ghosts which is pretty limitless! As it will be too (I hope) with the next subject coming up, which is the dark!Please try to keep up the good work guys – I think you;re on to a winner series here if you do! You won me over, and VERY rarely do I read a series of titles in any format of books – but your first definitely got me hooked, and was exceptional. This one – a tiny bit lacking in comparison, but let’s hope you get that momentum and hilarity back in the next one!Very much looking forward to the next title in this great and unique new series!

Sam Wu is pretty much afraid of everything lol. He goes to the aquarium and is scared of the … yes, shark as you've guessed by the title. we loved how the friends worked together and the illustrations are absolutely brilliant. Sam's grandmother is a hoot.This will appeal to fans of Tom Gates and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly funny and highly enjoyable

Cute book- high interest for higher level readers. I tried to read aloud to my kindergarteners and it was a bit over their head. I would recommend as a 2nd-5th grade read!
