What's The Worst Witch About

Publisher Summary

Catch up on Mildred Hubble’s magical adventures at Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches with these reissued editions featuring energetic new covers. Mildred Hubble is starting her first year at Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches – and making a mess of it!
