The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy
Mildred Hubble is a trainee witch at Miss Cackle’s Academy, and she’s making an awful mess of it. She’s always getting her spells wrong and she can’t even ride a broomstick without crashing it. Will she ever make a real witch?
I remember watching this everyday after school, I loved it. I did not realise it was a book series. I am so glad it is though. I asked for this via netgalley but they denied my request so I bought itΒ straight away. I read it in one sitting, well it is only 100pages long.
It transported me back to my child hood. I loved all of it. I was pleased to see all the characters I knew and loved were there. Especially Miss Bat, I love her, she is such a funny character. The pictures were good, I do not know whether they have been redone since the T.V. program, or if the people on the T.V. show did a great job of getting actors that look very like the characters. It really added to story.
The book is aimed at children, but I still loved it as an adult. I would definitely buy these for my future children.
5 out of 5 stars.
Lol, when I grew up I watched Powerpuff Girls and Totally Spies and Kim Possible. The only “witch” show I ever watched was Sabrina the Teenage Witch, which I really liked (it was the cartoon, not the film)! Any chance this book is like that? π But I’m happy that this book lived up to your expectations! It’s always nice when you go back to your childhood and it doesn’t disappoint.
I suppose it kind of is, it’s about a witch who gets into lots of trouble and isn’t the best at magic, it’s really good π Thanks for stopping by π
