About This Book
In "The Worst Witch Saves the Day," the fifth book in Jill Murphy's beloved series, Mildred Hubble begins her third year at Miss Cackle's Academy. She faces new challenges, including a peculiar new form teacher, Miss Granite, and a disastrous hair-growing potion. When her rival Ethel Hallow's "help" leads to more trouble, Mildred finds herself entangled in a much larger, more sinister plot involving Miss Cackle's identical twin sister, Agatha. This chapter book is perfect for children aged 7-10, offering a delightful blend of humor, magic, and adventure, while subtly exploring themes of self-confidence, friendship, and standing up for what's right.
Something is up at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches: Mildred Hubble's new form teacher is really weird. Or is she? Investigating isn't easy, especially when Mildred's potions go wrong, the class know-it-all insists on being 'helpful' and her beloved cat is having a nervous breakdown.
