Sam Wu is Not Afraid Series

by ,
(84 reviews)

Meet the world's bravest scaredy-cat! Sam Wu is Not Afraid is the perfect illustrated funny chapter book series for courageous children in the making ages 6+.

Sam Wu is courageous. 
Sam Wu is FEARLESS.
Sam Wu is most definitely not afraid of ghosts, werewolves, the space, spiders, sharks or zombies.
NOT.

Sam Wu speaks to the wimp in each and every one of us! But what makes Sam's adventures so special is that he overcomes all his new challenges to prove to his peers that he is TOTALLY NOT scared. But proving how brave you are is HARD WORK, and none of these challenges are easy for Sam Wu.

Life is also difficult because Ralph Philip Zinkerman the Third, who is also the WORST PERSON IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE, always seems to be testing poor Sam and leading him to Certain Doom. 

But Sam is also lucky to have some wonderful pals in his life. His pet snake, Fang, and his two best friends, Zoe and Bernard, always help him overcome the impossible. And he also of course has his very own secret weapon: a chilli pepper belt (which might help him save awful Ralph's grandpa from getting EATEN by a shark!).

If you are ready to test you brave bar, join Sam Wu on his journey to become the bravest boy in the entire world! This fantastic series written by Kevin Tsang and Katie Tsang and illustrated by Nathan Reed has been a hit with Toppsta reviewers, who also loved Diary of a Wimpy Kid books and the Baby Aliens series.

If you're ready for your next reading step, you should also read Katie and Kevin's other two book series: the Dragon Realm books and the Space Blasters books!
