The Worst Witch Strikes Again is the second of Jill Murphy’s much-loved series The Worst Witch, the original story of life at a magical boarding school, perfect for readers aged 5 – 9. Lovable but disaster-prone Mildred Hubble is possibly the worst witch ever to go to Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches . . . ‘I wonder,’ said Miss Cackle, ‘if there is any hope for you in this Academy, Mildred.’ Summer term at Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches has just begun and disaster-prone Mildred Hubble is in deep trouble again – all because of the new girl, Enid Nightshade, who isn’t nearly as placid as she looks…Jill Murphy started putting books together (literally with a stapler) when she was six.
