This collection features two classic stories from Jill Murphy's beloved "Worst Witch" series, following Mildred Hubble through her first year at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches. Mildred is a kind-hearted but notoriously clumsy student who constantly finds herself in scrapes, often due to her own well-intentioned blunders or the machinations of her rival, Ethel Hallow. Despite her reputation as the "worst witch," Mildred frequently stumbles into heroic situations, saving the school from various magical threats. Parents will appreciate the humor, the themes of friendship and perseverance, and the gentle exploration of feeling different and finding your place. Ideal for children aged 4-11, it's a perfect read-aloud or early independent chapter book.
Presents two stories about Mildred Hubble, a young apprentice witch with a reputation for being the worst student at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, in which she first incurs the enmity of her headmistress and then smuggles her cat along on a class trip.
