CHAPTER 1

THE TIME HAS COME

My name is Sam Wu and I am NOT afraid of zombies. Not zombie werewolves, not mummy zombies, or any other kind of zombies.

I’ll admit that I had to work my way up to not being afraid of zombies. I don’t actually know if there is anything scarier than an undead zombie chasing you and your friends.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Before I faced the zombies, I’d already come face to face with ghosts, sharks, the dark, and spiders. And I’d proven again and again, how NOT afraid I was.

Little did I know this was all to prepare me for my greatest challenge yet.

Because not only are zombies the

SCARIEST thing I’ve ever faced (not that I’m afraid of them) but on top of everything, I had to work together with my greatest nemesis.

Ralph Philip Zinkerman the Third.

Ralph was the reason I had to prove I was brave in the first place. He was the one who started calling me Scaredy Cat Sam when the incident that will never be spoken of again¹ happened at the Space Museum.

But then after the incident, Ralph and I had to work together to face the dark, and Ralph even became a part of my very own SPACE BLASTERS crew². But that didn’t make us best buddies or anything like that. It’s a little confusing when your nemesis suddenly becomes part of your team. Or when they suddenly need your help with something. But as Captain Jane from SPACE BLASTERS always says, you never know who might turn out to be an ally in a time of need.

I think that is also what my dad means when he says it’s important to ‘be the bigger person’. He doesn’t actually mean be BIGGER, which is what I thought when he first told me that.

So when Ralph and his twin sister Regina (who is about a million times nicer than him) asked me and my best friends Zoe and Bernard to help them, I knew I had no choice.

I had to do what Captain Jane and Spaceman Jack (and my dad) would want me to do.

It was finally time to face . . .

THE ZOMBIE WEREWOLF!
