A Storey Street novel, For National Curriculum Key Stage 2, Interest age: from c 9 years, Fantasy & magical realism (Children's / Teenage), Humorous stories (Children's / Teenage)
The fourth and final hilarious middle-grade novel from DEMOLITION DAD, SUPERHERO STREET and THE WAR NEXT DOOR author Phil Earle. 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?
