    A Storey Street novel: Scaredy Cat, Scaredy Cat: From the author of Finn s Epic Fails

    Phil Earle

    Formats & Editions

    From the author of Finn's Epic Fails, this is the fourth and final book in multi-award-shortlisted author Phil Earle's Storey Street series, illustrated by award-winning artist, Sara Ogilvie. Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and Liz Pichon, each book in this laugh-out-loud series focuses on a different neighbour.

    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 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?

    'A wonderful mix of heart, wit and wrestling Lycra' ? KATHERINE RUNDELL

    'Warm, funny and heartfelt ... A phenomenal book' ? ROBIN STEVENS
