    Sam Wu is Not Afraid of the Dark is a book by Katie and Kevin Tsang.
    Despite the book's title, Sam Wu is scared of the dark, but he tries to overcome this fear. In this extract, Sam and his friend Bernard are talking about a camping trip they're both supposed to be going on.
    I'm only trying to save you, Bernard. It's what friends do.' 'I think you just don't want to go camping,' said Bernard. I looked at the bed and saw the cover of the book he'd been reading. It was called Mountain Man: How to Survive a Bear Encounter*.
    I held up the book. 'Books won't save you from bears, Bernard.'
    'They might! I've learned lots of stuff in that one.
    Such as if you see a bear, you should either (a) try to scare it by making yourself bigger or (b) play dead.‘
    'Those are two very different things, Bernard! I can't make myself bigger and play dead at the same time. I don't even think I can make myself bigger.
    'I was pretty sure I could play dead though. Our cat Butterbutt does it all the time when he needs a bath.
    'Listen, Sam, my dad has gone camping loads of times. He gave me this book! And this one!' Bernard held up another book with the title Camping: Be One With Nature. 'And you know how big my dad is.
    He won't even have to try to make himself bigger
    if we do see a bear.' He had a point.
    'And I've done the maths,' Bernard added. 'Statistically*, at least seventy-five per cent us will survive. With you and Stanley coming, that increases our odds!'
    'But my chances of surviving would be one-hundred per cent if I didn't go,' I said, proud of myself for also knowing how to do maths.
    'And it isn't just about the bears, Bernard.' I lowered
    my voice. 'It's the dark. Anything could be out there.'
    'We'll bring flashlights*,' said Bernard firmly. Then he looked very seriously at me. 'And you know that there's no getting out of it
    if our parents want us to go. So we might as
    well prepare as much as we can.' He was right.
    Our fate was sealed. We were going camping.
