First Prize for the Worst Witch
Jill Murphy
""I am a hopeless case – everything I do always does go wrong in the end.""
Mildred Hubble may be the worst witch at Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches, but she’s the best friend you’ll ever have.
Summer term has started at Miss Cackle’s Academy, and somehow the disaster-prone Mildred has made it to Year Four.
Even though everyone knows her as the Worst Witch in the School, she’s secretly set her sights on winning the school’s highest honour.
Yes, Mildred wants to be Head Girl!
Can she stay out of trouble and prove to everyone that even the worst witch can turn her fortunes around?
Not if her arch-enemy Ethel Hallow has anything to do with it…
‘The Worst Witch is back – and it’s as subtly feminist as ever’ – New Statesman
Read the rest of Mildred’s (mis)adventures: The Worst Witch, A Bad Spell for the Worst Witch, The Worst Witch All at Sea, The Worst Witch Saves the Day, The Worst Witch to the Rescue and The Worst Witch and the Wishing Star.

I like Mildred the best and in this book she wins head girl against a Hallow (who has one every year for 200 years).
Princess Boadicea Cuckoo-Clock 22.08.2025
A funny story with a very clumsy witch that is trying not to get in too much trouble
Empress Mildred Pendragon 17.08.2025
This book was a fiction book. I really like it because it describes a lot of things. I would tell people to read this book.

I loved when they rescued the animals.
Queen Magnolia Menace 04.08.2025
I liked where Mildred loved to be the head girl but her arc-enemy ethel hallow starts stirring everything up and keeps her in trouble. If this book was an fiction story I would tell the scene in a new way which happened in my day-day lives. Thank you!

I did not like this book. I found it boring compared to the others
Mademoiselle Amazonia Tinkle 20.07.2025
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.
