About this item:

The brilliantly funny fifth book in the SAM WU series, starring the bravest scaredy-cat in the world! Perfect for reluctant readers and fans of Tom Fletcher, Pamela Butchart andHumza Arshad's Badman.

There's hardly anything that Sam Wu is afraid of. Unless you count ghosts, sharks, the dark and maybe even spiders. But definitely NOT zombies. Except for actual real ones maybe.

So when Sam's arch nemesis, Ralph Zinkerman the Third announces that he has zombie werewolves living in his basement, for the first time ever, Sam really isn't sure if he wants to be the one to save the day. Ralph has always been pretty mean to him and, well, just one little nibble from the zombie werewolves wouldn't hurt that much, would it?

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

Review

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Sam Wu's funniest adventure so far

J.C. · 4 June 2020

Sam Wu is back in what for me is his funniest adventure yet! Sam’s arch nemesis and kind of friend Ralph Zinkerman the Third is being kept awake by loud howling from his basement, convinced that there are zombie werewolves locked down there he reluctantly seeks Sam’s help. We al know that Sam Wu is not afraid of anything, together they must formulate a plan that Spaceman Jack would be proud of! Wonderfully chaotic and packed full of hilarious humour and downright genius illustrations this book is an absolute triumph from start to finish. Katie and Kevin totally get childhood dynamics, from the fast flowing dialogue to the vivid imaginations, it’s so well observed and witty. As usual Nathan’s illustrations are full of joy capturing the chaos and carnage unfold brilliantly. This continues to be one of my favourite young fiction series and is hugely popular at school.

4.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant addition to the series: a whole lot of fun!

Another brilliantly fun book in the Sam Wu series. These books never fail to make me smile! Sam and his gang have to work together to overcome their meanest opposition yet: scary zombies. I loved the plans they came up with! Plus, as ever, the illustrations make me so bloody happy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly funny tale of childhood fears and misunderstandings!!

L. · 12 February 2020

My 6 year old is a HUGE fan of Sam Wu. She has been enjoying the books and giggling away at his wobbly adventures of misunderstandings and childlike imagination as Sam insists he is not scared when really he is terrified of most things.This time Ralph ASKS SAM for HELP!?Ok Regina maaaay have had something to do with that as they havent slept in weeks as they suspect a zombie werewolf is trapped in their basement. Sam is terrified but summons up the courage with his friends to investigate the truth… although unfortunately it all goes TERRIBLY and hysterically wrong.Nathan Reed’s playful illustrations capture both the imagination and awkwardness of being the age of Sam and his friends and Katie & Kevin touch on social worries such as being embarrassed by your family’s differences in a beautifully empathetic yet uplifting way.
