The Worst Witch, Book 1 I Picked Up This Book Because: I loved the movie as a kid and recently discovered it was based on this book. The Characters: Mildred Hubble: Maud: Ethel Hallow, Miss Cackle, Miss Hardbroom The Story: Mildred Hubble lives an uncharmed life. She tries her best but things a...
I stumbled across my copy of this book while cleaning out my mother's attic. I used to read it all the time as a child. I was fascinated with the story. I even remember watching the film version of it and dreaming about being a witch. Rereading it, I loved it just as much as the first time. The writ...
My almost 7 year old daughter has been begging to read Harry Potter, but being only 6, I felt that the subject matter was a bit dark for her just yet. We were both delighted to discover The Worst Witch! Witch-in-training Mildred is an adorable character, and the setting, Miss Cackle's Academy, is si...
Short review:I heard about this series for a long time, but I could never find the books in English here. Stupid libraries. :( So I found them elsewhere, and I am really happy that I got a chance to read them.This book is the first one, and where everything starts. We meet Mildred who is very bad at...
Like all my favourite children's literature, this book is squarely on the side of the outcast. Disorganised, accident-prone witch Mildred and her plump, bespectacled friend Maud are smart, kind and generally awesome. My own mild dyspraxia, which vanished when I was about 14, made Mildred an especial...
Mildred is a witch but she is not very good at it. In the end however she's able to save the whole school from the evil witches' attack.The book is a nice quick read but also very predictable. It's a bit of a Harry Potter version for younger kids, but mothing I enjoyed immensely.
One of the many Easter eggs in Kraken. Most recruits at the magical police squad's training center refer to it as "Hogwarts". But a few call it "Miss Cackle's" and look superior when the others don't get the reference.
A 1001 CBYMRBYGU. At Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches, there are many witches, but no one is as terrible at witchcraft than Mildred. She goofs up every spell she attempts. Poor Mildred is always in trouble.…the girls marched up in single file to receive their kittens. Mildred was the last of all, a...
I never read these books as a child, but I saw a firend had one and they looked great for procrastination, so I gave it a try. I think it's really cute! Mildred is very sweet. The writing isn't very advanced as this is more of a children's/YA book, but it's still so much fun!
Read a long, long, long time ago and watched the series on ITV later... they were quite fun little reads from what I remember, would love to read them again if I see them going for 2nd hand.
