First Prize for the Worst Witch

First prize? What’s going on? Has hapless witch Mildred Hubble finally done something right? Usually it’s nothing but hubble, bubble, toil and trouble for the worst witch at Miss Cackle’s Academy. She’s always getting her spells wrong, crashing her broom and making her scary teachers cross. Thing is, Mildred’s in the Fourth Year now. She can’t stay bottom of the class forever. She has to prove she’s not as useless as people think. So when Mildred thinks of a clever way to make her mark, might she win the day after all?
