## Description

Celebrate The Worst Witch, the original magical boarding school series, with this spellbinding 50th anniversary edition. School spells trouble for Mildred Hubble! Disaster-prone Mildred is a trainee at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, but she's making an awful mess of it. She keeps getting her spells wrong and crashing her broomstick. 'Riding a broomstick is no easy matter!' She manages to scrape by until she turns Ethel, the teacher's pet, into her worst enemy, and her cauldron begins to bubble with chaos. . .
