Fantastically funny Wilf was shortlisted for the Laugh Out Loud Book Awards! Meet Wilf. He worries about everything. He is a Mighty Worrier. And now the most evil man in the world has decided to get piratey... Things Wilf was worried about before: 1. Lion dentists. 2. Creepy crawlies wearing wigs. 3. Marmite. Things Wilf is worried about now: 4. The most evil man in the world. 5. Anyone called Alan. 6. Alan deciding to become a pirate and destroy the world. Alan is Wilf's self-styled evil lunatic next-door-neighbour. He has a grumpy robot sidekick and a silent right-hand-dog, Kevin Phillips. He is ridiculous.

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 * An endearing story that will have worriers everywhere cheering for this unlikely hero * Mother Daughter Bookclub * This book was even better than the first Wilf book, because it was more exciting. But just so you know, I did like the first one! I would recommend this book to anyone really, anyone who likes pirates and likes exciting adventures. And also people who liked the first Wilf book. -- Guardian Young Reviewer * Guardian Children's Book Site * 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 * Book Trust * Funny, imaginative and adventurous...anyone should read this to turn their frown upside down. * Guardian Children's Book Reviews *
