Description
Sparkling new branding for The Worst Witch - the original magical boarding school series! The second hilarious adventure in the Worst Witch series. 'I wonder,' said Miss Cackle, 'if there is any hope for you in this Academy, Mildred.' It's the Summer Term at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches and disaster-prone, trainee witch Mildred Hubble is in deep trouble again - all because of the new girl Enid Nightshade, who isn't nearly as sweet and innocent as she looks...
