Bookroo's summary

Sam Wu, a self-proclaimed ghost hunter, faces a new terror: sharks. After a close encounter with a giant shark at the aquarium, Sam is terrified. But when his friends plan a beach birthday party, Sam must decide if he can conquer his fear of becoming shark bait. Will he find the courage to join the fun, or will his fear keep him on dry land? Dive into Sam's hilarious and heartwarming journey as he learns that bravery is a challenge you must meet time and again.

From the publisher

On a class trip to the aquarium, certified ghost hunter Sam Wu encounters something even scarier than ghosts: a giant shark who TOTALLY tries to eat him. Sam has no intentions of taking any more chances with these people-eating creatures. But then his classmates plan a birthday bash . . . on the BEACH! Can Sam overcome his fear of becoming fish food before he misses out on the fun?
