About This Book
Reach for this collection when your child feels like they are constantly getting things wrong despite their best intentions. It is the perfect antidote for the perfectionist or the child who feels like a 'magnet for trouble' in a structured school environment. Mildred Hubble is the ultimate relatable underdog, a well-meaning but clumsy student at a boarding school for witches where her spells often go awry and her broomstick is held together by tape. Through three full stories, Mildred navigates the pressure of high expectations, the sting of being singled out by teachers, and the complexities of school friendships. It celebrates resilience and the idea that being 'the worst' at a skill doesn't mean you aren't valuable or capable of saving the day. It is an ideal bridge for children moving into longer chapter books who still appreciate humor and a touch of magic.
