What to expect
1) Stuffed animals. 2) Peanut Butter. 3) Creepy crawlies that have waggly feeler things instead of eyes.

4) The most evil man in the world. 5) The most evil man in the world living next door. 6) Anyone called Alan.
When Alan, a self-styled Evil Lunatic, moves in next door with his grumpy robot sidekick and his silent right-hand-dog, Kevin Phillips, Wilf knows he will have to find a way to overcome his fears. And soon he realises: only he can stop Alan's ridiculous yet still Quite Evil plan to destroy the world...

Critics 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
-
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
