Fantastically funny Wilf was shortlisted for the Laugh Out Loud Book Awards!

Meet Wilf. He worries about everything. He is a Mighty Worrier. And now the most evil man in the world has decided to take his quest for world domination on holiday to Africa…

Things Wilf was worried about before:

1. Beetles.
2. Poodles.
3. Being eaten by animals.

Things Wilf is worried about now:

4. The most evil man in the world.
5. Anyone called Alan.
6. Alan deciding to take his quest for world domination to Africa.

Alan is Wilf’s self-styled evil lunatic next-door-neighbour. He has a grumpy robot sidekick and a silent right-hand-dog, Kevin Phillips. He is ridiculous. But when Alan decides to join Wilf’s family holiday to Africa and raise an army of animals in his quest for world domination, Wilf knows he will have to overcome his fear of animals and anxiety of holidays to stop him…

Join Wilf for a fantastically funny adventure, illustrated throughout by Jamie Littler!

Reviews

Genuinely touching and wonderfully funny. A total delight of a, what I call, book.

Miranda Hart

... great to read aloud as there are lots of opportunities for silly voices....The author really draws the reader in and they will soon become totally immersed in Wilf's crazy adventures.

Parents In Touch

With fantastic attention to all the funny details that make Wilf's life (and his nemesis, Alan) so worrisome, this is a truly laugh-out-loud read that also has a reassuring message for children who worry about the world

Book Trust

An endearing story that will have worriers everywhere cheering for this unlikely hero

Mother Daughter Bookclub

Funny, imaginative and adventurous...anyone should read this to turn their frown upside down.

Guardian Children's Book Reviews

This book is great and will make you laugh from start to finish

Kidaround Magazine (North Essex)

A lively, funny story that should delight and reassure many children who are worriers themselves

Jacqueline Wilson
