I am only on chapter seventeen but the book has interested me loads so far.my favourite characters are Mildred Hubble, Maud Spellbody and Enid Nightshade. The reason is because Mildred always tries her best at whatever she does and her two friends Maud and Enid always help her get through the day at Cackle's Academy. I would recommend the whole series to anybody. A 5/5.

I like the way it is written because the words are interesting. It was good that Mildred Hubble was happy in the end and all the other students too.

I really enjoy all the Worst Witch books especially this one because normally the last book in a series is the best one and in this case it is.
