Advantages: Good fun read

Disadvantages: Too short!

This book was my absolute favourite for a while when I was younger. I loved the idea of magic and boarding school and this book was absolutely perfect.
The story follows Mildred, Maud, Mrs Hardbroom and Ethel in another adventure at the magical school where they study witch craft. The school is unusual as it is a castle with no heating, there are only two terms and every student is expected to be able to ride a broom and is presented with a black cat when they join.
Unfortunately for Mildred, the Worst Witch, the only cat left for her is a tabby cat that's scared of everything, particulary broom flying! Mildred is not good at broom flying anyway so that cat does not help!
This highly enjoyable book follows her through another session of mishaps at the school and is perfect for young girls aged 6-10 who are confident readers.

Summary: Magical storytelling
