Mega LOLs behind every door! From the author of Finn’s Epic Fails, this is the fourth and final hilarious book in multi-award-shortlisted author Phil Earle’s series focusing on a different neighbour in the same street. Illustrated by award-winning artist, Sara Ogilvie. Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and Liz Pichon.
Kay Catt has a nickname – Scaredy Catt. And with good reason. You’ve never met a more timid girl in your life. And when you meet her dad, you’ll start to understand why.
But when a mysterious kindly 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 man. 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
This is a lovely book with all the right ingredients -- goodies, baddies and the very mysterious Wilf.
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.
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.
