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

It isn't actually a known spell. I sort of made it up myself. . .

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

Mildred just knows this term will be different. She's done the best holiday project ever and she's sure fearsome Miss Hardbroom will be impressed but when even her arch-enemy, Ethel Hallow, begins to be nice to her - all seems too good to be true. . . could this spell trouble?

The Worst Witch to the Rescue is the sixth 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.
