Sam Wu Is NOT Afraid of Ghosts!

Product Information

Look out for Sam's jawsome follow-up adventure – Sam Wu is Not Afraid of Sharks! coming in July 2018. Sam Wu has the perfect plan to prove that he's brave: embark on a bold adventure, get a "trusty companion," and defeat the ghost in his home!

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 everyone that he is a fearless space adventurer… Helen Matravers continues, “Polka’s relationship with Irish theatre makers, Branar, also has a rich history, so it is a joy to have them with us all summer with Oliver Jeffers’ mesmerising story, so carefully told through beautiful puppetry. It’s a gorgeous piece for little ones and their adults alike!” Come on an unforgettable and thrilling adventure where the strength of friendship is tested to its limits, and nothing is quite what it seems in the fantastical, frosty world of The Snow Queen.Sam and his family are Chinese and I loved how this was threaded throughout the book. I was practically drooling at the idea of some of the food but it was also hilarious seeing how Zoe and Bernard reacted to tea time at Sam’s house – in a way that only children could! Sam’s sister Lucy is a badass and I loved Butterbutt the cat (what an excellent name!) Talking of excellent names: Ralph Philip Zinkerman the Third is another one that got me laughing! Yep, I had tons of fun, and I am very happy to see that we will be getting more Sam Wu adventures, I can't wait for it to come out! <3 I would recommend this book to everyone! Sam Wu hat absolut keine Angst vor Geister, wirklich nicht. Das muss er jetzt beweisen, denn seit im beim Schulausflug ein riesengroßer Patzer passiert ist, den er und seine Freunde nie wieder erwähnen sollen, wird er von seinem Erzfeind Ralf nun immer „Sam Angsthase“ genannt. Jetzt muss Sam im das Gegenteil beweisen, doch wie stellt er das an. Als erster muss er sich ein cooles Haustier zulegen, da er weiß, dass seine Eltern das nicht erlauben würden, besorgt er sich mit Hilfe seiner Oma eine Schlange. Das Tier wäre schon mal da, jetzt muss Sam nur noch ein Abenteuer bestehen und dabei sollen ihm seine zwei besten Freunde Zoe und Anton helfen. Ob sie das zusammen schaffen? De drie beroemde Billy Bones woorden op de achterkant zijn: humor, overwinnen en leesgemak. Het boek is zeer grappig. Niet alleen de situaties, maar juist vooral de personages. Het zusje van Sam vond ik eigenlijk het grappigste personage, ik kon me goed met haar identificeren haha. Sam is een beetje een buitenbeentje, maar hij heeft wel twee hele goede vrienden.

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.

This is a great read for kids ages 8 to 12 who enjoy a lot of fun in their reads. Especially reluctant readers will enjoy the wonderful amount of illustrations and see some of themselves in Sam Wu. My Experience: I started reading Sam Wu is Not Afraid of Ghosts on the morning of 8/15/18 and finished it before midnight. My first one day read! Woot!! A fantastic read! I think my son will enjoy this book a lot too because he’s able to relate to Sam riding the Astro Blast Simulator since we also ride on one when we went to a Space Center in Huntsville, Tennessee a few months ago. I like Sam. He’s pretty brave for a scaredy-cat because he buys a pet that he’s actually scared of! I like his clever thinking and reasoning about going straight to grandma for permissions because even his mom has to listen to grandma since grandma is his mom’s mom. Gerda is on the magical quest of a lifetime. Her best friend Kai has disappeared with the mysterious Snow Queen, and if Gerda doesn’t rescue him soon, he’ll be trapped in an endless winter forever. Ingenious retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s story with a lot of emphasis on kindness, decency and redemption" Once there was a boy who was always looking up. He dreamt of having a star as a friend. This is the story of his adventure.
