Sam Wu Is Not Afraid of Ghosts: Volume 1

"Reluctant readers and fans of the Wimpy Kid series and its ilk will appreciate the book's dynamic type, graphics galore, cartoonish illustrations, and ironic footnotes." --Kirkus

Don't call him scaredy-cat Sam, because Sam Wu IS NOT AFRAID of ghosts Except . . . he totally is. Can he conquer his fear by facing the ghost that lives in the walls of his house?

After an unfortunate (and very embarrassing) incident in the Space Museum, Sam goes on a mission to prove to the school bully, and all his friends, that he's not afraid of anything--just like the heroes on his favorite show, Space Blasters. And when it looks like his house is haunted, Sam gets the chance to prove how brave he can be. A funny, touching, and charming story of ghost hunting, escaped pet snakes, and cats with attitude
