Sparkling new branding for The Worst Witch - the original much-loved boarding-school for witches

Everything I do always goes wrong in the end. . .

Lovable but disaster-prone Mildred Hubble is possibly the worst ever trainee witch to darken the doors of Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches.

As if by magic Mildred has made it to Year Four without being expelled. Even though everyone knows her as the worst witch in the school, she's secretly set her sights on winning the highest honour - that of Head Girl of Miss Cackle's Academy. Can she stay out of trouble and prove to everyone that even the worst witch can turn her fortunes around?. . .

First Prize for the Worst Witch is the final adventure in Jill Murphy's hilarious Worst Witch series full of fun, magic and mayhem.

About the author

Jill Murphy

Jill Murphy was born in London in 1949. From a very early age she was drawing and writing stories, and was already putting books together (literally, with a stapler) by the time she was six. She went on to study at Chelsea, Croydon and Camberwell Schools of Art. Jill worked in a children's home for four years and as a nanny for a year, before becoming a freelance writer and illustrator. The Worst Witch stories are some of Puffin's most successful titles. Jill lives in London with her son, Charlie.
