I like how Mildred did not get into trouble but her friend Ethel did this time round.

I liked it, it was just the mean things that Ethel did the Mildred it was a bit mean. I will still recommend the book though.

It’s really good. There are some scary parts so don’t read it on your own!

It was a good term for Mildred before Ethel stole her holiday project. Mildred got a cat who helped get back her holiday project.
