First Prize for the Worst Witch
The eighth and final adventure in the hilarious Worst Witch series.
"I am a hopeless case - everything I do always does go wrong in the end."
Summer term has started at Miss Cackle's Academy, and somehow disaster-prone Mildred Hubble has made it to Year Four without being expelled.
Even though everyone knows her as the Worst Witch, she's secretly set her sights on winning the school's 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?
Not if her arch-enemy Ethel Hallow has anything to do with it...

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, of which this is the first, are some of Puffin's most successful titles.
