The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy

The book is a wonderful story about a little witch who can't seem to learn her spells as well as the other pupils in Miss Cackle's academy. It is a touching book because although the characters are witches, good morals are upheld, and the pupils' teachers are strict but fair. In spite of her suffering at her enemy classmate's hands, the main character Mildred decides to do the right thing and becomes a heroine. It was a pleasure to scan this book for Bookshare's children's books.

The Worst Witch

This book was about Miss Cackle's Acadamey for Witches and the witches who go to the school. Some of the teacher's names are Miss Bat and Miss Hardbroom. The head mistress's name is Miss Cackle. I would like to be a witch at Miss Cackle's. I would like to be a friend of Mildred's. I liked the book because the pictures made the book more interesting . The front cover was also interesting because it showed pictures from the TV show. The book made me feel like a real witch. I also liked the book because Mildred is so clumsy and has some pretty neat adventures. I wish I could have adventures like her. You should read this book.

If you like Harry Potter, you'll love this!

This is a fantastic book! If you are a Harry Potter fan, then you definatly need to read this. Our heroine, Mildred, is in her first year at Miss Cackles Academy for witches. She tries hard, but everything she does seems to go wrong! When she is almost expelled for ruining the halloween festival and discracing her school, Mildred runs away, but runs into a group of Witches plotting trouble for the Academy! Mildred saves the day and comes out shining! This is a must-have story for young children, But don't let the size of the book fool you, This is a great read for ALL ages! Jill Murphy truly has weaved magic.

Harry Potter, you are nothing compared to Mildred

Midred Hubble . . even her name brims with magic! She's a terrible witch, though not as bad as the title of the book makes her out to be. Her spells always go wrong but shes always lovable in her failure. I don't want to give away the plot simply becausse whoever you are, you must read this book! No matter what age you are, i bet you'll love it.

What A Great Book!

Hi! I'm Joseph, I'm 13. If you've ever raed this book then you know that this book is not boring, (like a ten year old reader said), Ilove Harry potter! You can see if you like it to by checking out the audio CD from you're local library, for free! But I'd recommend buying or borrowing the book. You'll love it, I know I do, and I'm a picky reader, really, really, really picky! And I've read Year:1 and 3. I'm buying Year 2 soon, and I'm geting Year 4 for my birthday next month, and I can't wait! Well, I hope this review was helpfull to you. Bye.
