    A Storey Street novel: The War Next Door: From the author of Finn s Epic Fails

    Phil Earle

    Formats & Editions

    From the author of Finn's Epic Fails, this is the third 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. Winner of the Hull Children's Book Award

    Masher is the bully of Storey Street. No one ever dares stand up to him and that's the way he likes it.

    But then Jemima and her family move into the plot of land next door. Jemima isn't afraid of him at all, and she's making him look like a bit of a wimp.

    To Masher, that just means one thing: war. (At least until teatime...)
