First Prize for the Worst Witch

It took us 2 weeks to read this at 20 minutes each night, it was a fun book to read, they should make a movie of the rest of these books about Mildred:)

Great lessons for kids, nothing scary, and fun adventures. Shows kids it’s ok to make mistakes and how to learn from them in a positive way.

I chose this rating Because it's a very good but is a very very easy read giving it the loss of one star. Even though it is an easy book I enjoyed it. I have read 5 other Worst Witch books and they have also been great!!! Thank you for writing these books and I hope to get more of them.😄😄😄

The Worst Witch books are a popular series for young readers. They have also been made into a Netflix series. So, children who know these books, and new readers, should both be delighted to add this book to their shelves. It will give them an enjoyable and fun read.Much like in Harry Potter, Jill Murphy creates an entire world for her characters. It is based on British boarding schools but with its own take as Miss Cackle's Academy. This entry starts with Mildred flying to school on her broomstick. Readers are immediately engaged as Mildred alters her flying height for her dog's comfort, but what is bothering him? And, the adventures go on from there.I recommend this title highly. It is fun and imaginative. Those who are beginning to explore the joys of chapter books should delight in this one.

It's funny, highly entertaining and well written. I didn't read the other books in this series but I had no issues with the plot or the characters.The author is a good storyteller and I loved the humor, the character development and the world building.It's strongly recommended.Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

My enthusiastic daughter and me read this in less than 24 hours - superfans!It is now the last term of lower school (Years 1 - 4 at High School/age 11 - 15 years/modern equivalent years 7-9). Next year will be upper school when the sit their Witches Higher Certificate, so immaturity and disasters should be behind them.Mildred is desperate to be appointed head girl, but if course her arch rival Ethel wants the converted position too. In the meantime Star's real owners are found and take him back leaving her heartbroken...Another instant classic by Murphy in the series with her trade mark easy to recognise pupils from our own school days.There are 1 or 2 books still to be written after this one as Murphy has always said the Mildred will graduate but not practise witchcraft instead using her talents in an animal sanctuary. So watch this space!A truly delightful addition to these stories that will not disappoint.

If rumours are true, and this is the last Worst Witch book, then Jill Murphy has gone out on a high. Things are finally going right for Mildred, and she couldn't be more pleased. Thanks to Star, she's trying more and finally getting the results she wants. Not everyone is pleased though - Ethel is not happy to see her rival doing so well and is looking for anyway she can to shove Mildred back to the position of worst witch of the school.It's a delightful little read, that will please both old and new fans of Mildred's stories. Well worth the cost, and it will make you smile. So glad I purchased it.

These books are simply superb. My daughter absolutely loves them. In fact she is thinking of changing her name to Mildred Hubble. Help!!!!

Bought for Daughter, she loved it.

Book in great condition and delivered quickly. A must for fans of this series.
