Sam Wu Is Not Afraid of Ghosts

In Sam Wu Is NOT Afraid of Ghosts, the first in the Sam Wu series of chapter books, the titular character is determined to recover from an embarrassing incident at the Space Museum and prove he is NOT – as his classmates claim – a scaredy cat. What does Sam do? Why, he gets a pet snake and calls him Fang! What Sam doesn’t anticipate is what happens when Fang goes missing … These easy-to-read stories are peppered with references to Sam’s Hong Kong Chinese heritage and nicely complemented by cute line drawings that will appeal to younger middle-graders.
