From the creator of Barbara Throws a Wobbler - the ultimate story to chase (and laugh) your worries away From the creator of Barbara Throws a Wobbler - the ultimate story to chase (and laugh) your worries away Geoffrey's got the jitters! It started last night when he was thinking about school - a funny, wiggly feeling in his tummy that grew and grew. But when Geoffrey's tummy jitters started talking to him - that's when he knew they were out of control. Geoffrey had to do something... Through a laugh-out-loud story and loveable character, Nadia Shireen shows how to understand and dispel anxieties, one jitter at a time. Praise for Barbara Throws a Wobbler- "This book is AMAZING! It will be a modern classic" Richard Osman

Her debut book Good Little Wolf received a mention in the Bologna Ragazzi Opera Prima Award and won the UKLA Book Award. Nadia has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. She lives in London.
