      My name is Sam Wu and I am NOT afraid of sharks. Or ghosts. Or anything else, no matter what a certain someone – that someone being Ralph Philip Zinkerman the Third – might tell you. And whatever anyone tells you, I am NOT Scaredy-Cat Sam.

      You might have heard about my adventures with some ghosts. They started in the

      and then everything snowballed from there.¹

      Anyway, I’ve established that I’m NOT afraid of ghosts. NOT even the Ghost King, who is the number one bad guy in the entire universe. I know this from my favourite show,

      There was a ghost in my house and we – that’s me and my friends Zoe and Bernard – had to find it and chase it out of my house. True story.² We even have the ghost-hunter certificates to prove it.

      Back to me being brave. I’m so brave that my sidekick is an actual, genuine, man-eating snake named Fang.³

      I thought that by proving I wasn’t afraid of ghosts nobody would call me Scaredy-Cat Sam any more. I was wrong.

      It was just the beginning of proving how NOT afraid I am.

      After the INCIDENT at the Space Museum, which won’t be spoken of (it involved me, an Astro Blast Simulator and a change of trousers), I had to prove my bravery by getting a snake sidekick and becoming a certified ghost-hunter.

      It’s kind of a long story. All you need to know is that I proved how BRAVE I am.

      But apparently, bravery is something you have to prove over and over again.

      I thought everything would go back to normal and I’d never have to hear the words

      again. But then we had a school trip to the aquarium. And that was when things really went wrong.⁴

      It should have been a perfect day. I wasn’t 100 per cent sure what to expect at the aquarium, but my best friend Bernard swore it
