From the author of DEMOLITION DAD, the CBBC Book of the Month June 2017, comes the fourth and final hilarious Storey Street by Phil Earle, illustrated by Waterstones Children’s Book Prize-shortlisted artist, Sara Ogilvie. Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl, Liz Pichon and David Walliams.

Kay Catt has a nickname – Scaredy Catt. And with good reason. You’ve never met a more timid, anxious girl in your life. And when you meet her dad, you’ll start to understand why. But when a mysterious old man is spotted on Storey Street, it heralds the start of a great adventure for Kay. Because Wilf Wilkinson isn’t your average, cardigan-wearing, sherbet lemon-sucking old codger. Oh no. Wilf wears a cloak, and a strange pointy hat, and his walking stick looks suspiciously like an over-sized wand.

Wilf couldn’t be a wizard … could he?

Reviews

Danny Wallace, presenter and bestselling author on SUPERHERO STREET
A laugh-out-loud read full of capes and japes! If you like Superheroes this is right down your Street!
Liz Pichon on DEMOLITION DAD
Phil "BOOKCRUSHER" Earle has written one, funny, fabulous, pile driving BLAST of a book. (Read it in Lycra for full wrestling experience.)
David Tazzyman, illustrator of MR GUM
Sara Ogilvie's beautifully drawn illustrations add real life and humour
Parents in Touch
Superbly illustrated by Sara Ogilvie, this is a hilarious story with a very positive and encouraging conclusion... sad it is the last in the series.
Jo Clarke, Book Lover Jo
Hilarious and sometimes heart-breaking Phil chooses, like in 'The War Next Door', to take the usually one dimensional characters and allow us, the reader, to discover what has shaped them and made them the way they are. [...] I'm extremely sad to see the end of the Storey Street stories but I know that they will live in the imaginations of the children in my school for a long time to come.

this is a lovely book with all the right ingredients -- goodies, baddies and the very mysterious Wilf.
