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 a 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.
