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

Be careful what you wish for!

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 makes a wish on a shooting star and to her great surprise it comes true! Mildred's wish-come-true is a small dog but how can she keep him a secret from her friends, and especially the formidable Miss Hardbroom? . . .

The Worst Witch and The Wishing Star is the seventh 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.
