About this item:

Enormous fun, madcap and relatable' – The Bookseller

The brilliantly funny third SAM WU book – the bravest scaredy-cat in the world! Perfect for reluctant readers and fans of Pamela Butchart.

Sam Wu is NOT afraid of anything. Except for quite a lot of things. Like ghosts. Sharks too. And also THE DARK! And so when Sam goes camping in the woods with his friends and cousin Stanley, who knows what scary kind of things they’ll face …?

Sam Wu is NOT Afraid of the Dark is the third book in this brilliantly funny and accessible new series – perfect for newly confident readers, fans of Pamela Butchart and Julian Gough's Rabbit and Bear.

'The third in the Sam Wu adventure series about conquering all sorts of fears in a humorous manner. This series is going from strength to strength and is a great accessible read.' – Booktrust

Review

Intensely likeable and sharply observed comic capers” – Guardian

“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

“Wonderfully illustrated by Nathan Reed (with excellent use made of contrasting night-time images to make the book appealing), this is ideal for children who can read alone and also great to encourage reluctant readers, who will find their efforts amply repaid. It's fun, it's funny and the characters are great” – parentsintouch.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty, chaotic and downright hilarious

J.C. · 7 February 2019

Brilliantly written by the fabulous Katie and Kevin Tsang with vibrant illustrations by Nathan Reed this book is a thing of joy from start to finish. Sam and his friends are back jumping up and down demanding that you pay them some attention and join in with their latest adventure. When Sam inadvertently manages to rope himself into Bernard’s camping trip with his Dad, he’s not too impressed as it might just reveal that he’s the teensiest bit afraid of the dark. Out in the wild woods there’s bound to be attacks from great big grizzly bears, rabid wolves, oh and not forgetting vampire bats and aliens. With Sam in charge of the mission to protect him and his friends, will they get to the bottom of who or what is making those strange noises in the night?Yet again Katie and Kevin have assembled a brilliant cast of characters who are engaging and entertaining. I love how Sam’s annoying cousin  Stanley from Hong Kong manages to drive him crazy on every level with his superior ability in anything and everything. Witty, chaotic and downright hilarious this has to be my favourite ‘Sam Wu,’ story as we witness his overactive imagination spiralling out of control and affecting all of his friends. Its really appealing interactive format with it’s zany and fun layout crammed with Nathan Reed’s superb illustrations which are stuffed full of humorous and intricate details. This series continues to stand out for being genuinely diverse and culturally rich unlike the majority of published books for this age group.

Great for 1st graders / 2nd graders

good reading cadence. Great for young readers. 1st - 2nd grade I would say. Reading level "J/K" I would guess. We love these books.
