Wilf the mighty worrier saves the world by Georgia Pritchett (illustrated by Jamie Littler)

Now you may not think that someone as anxious as Wilf would make a very good hero because he's afraid of just about everything. His list of things he is officially scared of includes: lifts, the sea, dark places, stuffed animals, the waggly wavers on insects and peanut butter. He is, however, blinking brilliant at hopping.

But Wilf must overcome his fears when supervillain, Alan, and his stroppy teenaged robot moves in next door with plans to destroy the world. Can Wilf survive the beginning of the end of the world? And will he stop worrying enough to save the day?

This is a very funny book that had me in giggles all the way through. And, as someone who also suffers with anxiety, I even picked up a few tips... Perfect for 8+ readers who like silliness and fun with an unlikely hero.
