Publisher: W F Howes Ltd, 2015

Things Wilf was worried about before: stuffed animals, peanut butter, creepy crawlies that have waggly feeler things instead of eyes. Things Wilf is worried about now: the most evil man in the world, the most evil man in the world living next door, anyone called Alan. When Alan, a self-styled Evil Lunatic, moves in next door with his robot sidekick and his silent dog, Wilf knows he will have to find a way to overcome his fears.

Review

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

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

Funny, imaginative and adventurous...anyone should read this to turn their frown upside down. (Guardian Children's Book Reviews)

An endearing story that will have worriers everywhere cheering for this unlikely hero (Mother Daughter Bookclub)

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 (Anna Loudon Booktrust)
