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.

Brilliant...the quality of imagination at play here is something special

Joseph Delaney's The Wardstone Chronicles are a series of books that have maintained the very highest standard for nearly a decade. The Spook's Nightmare is another excellent addition to the series. Highly recommended.
