Secure A Copy The Worst Witch Saves The Day Narrated By Jill Murphy Ready In Digital Version
can't keep getting away with this, What a brilliant story! Mildred often finds herself in a spot of bother exactly when its needed!! I dont know what the Academy would do without her.
I dont think I can stand much more of Ethel though someone really needs to put her into her place as shes driving me nuts.
Miss Hardbroom seems to be softening towards the girls a little bit Jill Murphy wrote the first Worst Witch story, according to Wikipedia, while ageand still in boarding school.
Perhaps that's what makes Mildred Hubble so realistic and so identifiable emotionally, While we don't seem to run into too many witches these days, we all know Mildred if we're not Mildred ourselves.
Trying to be invisible while coming up with impractical schemes for miraculous success while failing utterly at both,
In "saves the day" which is Book, Mildred returns to school for her third year, She has an idea to end her hair troubles which doesn't end well, And although she's practiced flying, she still has difficulty with her timid cat, and taunts from the school social perfectionist Ethel Hallow we've all encountered her, too, I'm sure don't help.
There's also a rather odd new instructor, Miss Granite, who doesn't seem to care how the students spend their time and Miss Hardbroom won't stand that for long.
But interestingly enough, it's Mildred that's the one that has the most suspicions about Miss Granite,
I think the things I like best about Mildred, aside from the fact that she's far from perfect, is that she's independent and perseveres.
She wins a few, and she loses a few, but she keeps going, learning the best she can, and comes through maybe not the best witch, but she's still going to be a witch.
When you're young, and haven't had many defeats so that each challenge seems like the end this is a good perspective to have.
Zachary loved this. I think this is one of my favourite books in the WW series, Loving tabby more than ever but think that the whole snail thing was recycled The famously disasterprone Mildred, witch in training, flies in for a brandnew adventure that makes a perfect Halloween treat.
Mildred is starting her third year at Miss Cackles Academy for Witches with high hopes of improving her klutzy record.
But thats before a curlingiron catastrophe leads her to experiment with a hairgrowing potion with hairraising results, And its before she raises the ire of Miss Granite, the odd new teacher who doesnt seem to act like a teacher at all.
Could she be an imposter And is there anything in Mildreds bag of tricks that can save the school if her hunch is right I unabashedly love this series.
Now, Im reading them as an adult, And Im reading them after having watched the Netflix show every episode during an illness, Were I reading them with children, Id have some misgivings perhaps, and would certainly want to talk with the children about things like boundaries with bullies Mildreds repeated misplaced trust in Ethel, what reliable and trustworthy adults look and sound like no adult should force you to say things are okay when they arent and reliable grown ups are responsible for taking care of kids and keeping them safe, making mistakes isnt causing trouble, and so on.
However, these stories are such fun,
I agree with other reviewers that things like Miss Granite actually being Agatha were obvious and likely would also be obvious to ayearold, but I also think it would be fun to be ayearold who knows whats going on while no one in the book does.
Who has already figured it out,
As others wrote, the hair scenes were delightful and the illustrations for those scenes the best yet.
Most of all, though, I appreciate the escape of these stories, I like that the worst things that happen is hair gets cut and grows back and villains are turned into snails.
For what these books are trying to do, they do it perfectly, Another great adventure with Mildred Hubble, As I recommended this for young readers, I just wanted to note that Ethel is just a bit meaner to Mildred in this one: “Had a brain transplant during the hols holidays” Ethel is always mean, but its usually just her being competitive and dismissive, rather than outright nasty.
Also, it mentions Miss Hardbroom possibly having sherry, Otherwise, its just as lighthearted and fun as the others! Michael, Gregory and I listened to this story as an ebook.
It was our first introduction to the escapades of Mildred Hubble and her friends and it was very entertaining.
Mildred is the worst witch in Miss Cackles Academy of Witchcraft and has a history of getting herself into impossible scrapes.
Everything Mildred does seem to lead to complete disaster for her and her pets, Mildred's class has a new teacher and she is a very unusual witch with an extraordinarily high pitched voice and a very unorthodox way of teaching.
Mildred runs into trouble with a hair curling iron and this ultimately leads to her discovering some rather interesting things about her new teacher, Miss Granite.
Can Mildred, with the help of her tabby cat and her friends, manage to save the teachers of Miss Cackle's Academy from a dastardly plot This book was interesting.
It was about as good as the last two books in the series but there were some inconsistencies between this books and the previous books that bothered me.
They weren't that noticeable but they still took away from the story when I noticed them, Overall this book was ok and I'm hoping the next book is better than this one, Of course Mildred, the worst witch at Miss Cackle's School for Witches, saves the day, Doesn't she always But first, and just as naturally, she messes up, Her botched attempt to repair a "bad hair day" results in disaster, and sends her beloved but mental cat Tabby into a nervous breakdown.
At least this term, the girls in Form Three will have a break from always having superstrict Miss Hardbroom as their formmistress.
The trouble is, their mysterious new teacher doesn't seem interested in actually teaching,
It doesn't take long for the girls in Form Three to miss a bit of structure and discipline.
But that thought has scarcely formed in their minds when Miss Granite suddenly turns mean and threatening, and poor Tabby gets caught in the middle.
Luckily, Mildred isn't the kind of girl to take catnapping lying down, That sentence somehow doesn't sound right, Unluckily, that's exactly what Miss Granite is counting on, forcing Mildred to stretch her spellcasting skills in order to avert yet another attempted hag takeover of the school.
Mildred and her friends, frenemies and enemies are fun company as always, full of warmth and mischief and magic.
Their adventure is typically weird, hilarious and just a bit spooky, including in this case a transformation spell that leaves Mildred in a tiny form.
Her struggle to communicate her plight with her friends, Enid and Maud, and to stay on task despite the allure of cake crumbs all over the floor, is the type of verbal and visual fun that makes this book, and this whole series, priceless.
This is the fifth of eight "Worst Witch" books by the late Jill Murphy, Next after it is The Worst Witch to the Rescue, After a slow start, I'm zipping through the series thanks to a box set that was apparently printed for sale in the U.
K. Since the books are so brief and quick to read and there are sadly no worries that more installments will be added to the series I'd say the box set is the way to go.
This book was a little longer and more involved than the others, with more challenging vocabulary, so I ended up giving it five although on my blog it would be a/.
As with the other Worst Witch stories this is perfect for a chapter a night book, read by an adult for children younger than the The Worst Witch Saves the Day's intended reading skills level.
The perfect series for children too young for Harry Potter, but wanting to read about a magic school, Haha, I don't know why I find this one so funny, I guess the idea of the hair just taking over completely, Also, I am super jealous because I have been losing so much hair! Lucky Mildred! So wonderful to read the Worst Witch again.
I now want to get all the books for a reread! to come : This is one to preread for the Possum, mostly.
She relies heavily on my suggestions, and it's kind of hard to keep ahead of her,
I'm unimpressed, It's all a bit thin,
Library copy And we are at book, onlymore books to go before I am completely uptodate with this series! cheers
We got a new teacher, Miss Granite seems kind, but at times is also totally mean and unfriendly.
And who in their right mind leaves a whole class of students alone But we soon find out why!
I loved the hair part.
First getting it all off poor Mildred, only to have to use a growth potion going out of hair um hand.
: Why do these girls still trust Ethel with things They should know by this timeyears now that she is up to no good and won't be nice.
Poor Tabby, totally traumatized by the huge and super fast growing hair,
Of course the book ends, like all the others, with Mildred saving the day/academy again,
But I have to say this one was way more fun than the previous one, so yeah for that!
Btw, I loved the cover for this book.
: Oh that Agatha. Another adventure for Mildred and Co, and this time people have the grace to point out that most of Mildred's accidents aren't her fault, This story starts with a hair disaster and ends with people being transformed into ants and snails, and also features a really weird new teacher.
I have always loved these books and finding one you haven't read before is always a delight, Everything you could want in a series of children's books, These books have every single feeling all at once, I can laugh, I can cry, they are funny, they are scary, The worst witch gets into a bit of trouble, but she often saves the day, These books remind me that sometimes mistakes are good and accidents can lead the way to success, This is the last book I've been able to find, and it resembles the others so much, I still find it adorable, and rather funny, with spells going wrong and all.
Seems everything happens to Mildred every time, The Worse Witch Saves the Day
Plot: This term at Miss Cackles Academy, its the start of a new year and Mildred and her class have a peculiar new teacher Miss Granite.
And its more than just her looks, One minute shes so laid back shes practically asleep on her job of teaching the students, Theyre teaching themselves which isnt really a bad thing, And the next shes turned into Miss HBs clone, If this wasnt enough Mildred finds herself in yet another tangle figuratively and literally when she tries out Mauds new styling brush, gets her hair caught I never could use a curling iron myself, and winds up getting her hair chopped out by Ethel.
Then trust Ethel to give her a potion to grow it back uh WHY, In the end she saves the day of uncovering the mystery around the teacher who isnt who she seems to be.
My Thoughts:. I wouldnt trust Ethel to HAND me a pair of scissors much less go ANY WHERE near my head.
Why did Mildred think this was a good idea Knowing this girl has done nothing since dayand bookbut get her in trouble.
And if that wasnt bad enough she trusts her to take a potion I thought she was gonna drink it.
I dont think Id ever heard of a potion shampoo Im starting not to feel bad for Mildred because its like that saying.
Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on ME! I mean when is Mildred gonna learn when this chick says shes “help her” RUN! And sleep with one eye open.
And then same thing with Miss Cackle, I already knew who Miss Granite was, It kind of hit me mid book, Oh, its the twin of Mrs Cackle, But then after that mishap Id KEEP a supply of truth telling serum for when I had to hire new people.
You can not TRUST everybody, Not just because of what they look like, Its a big FAIL that they didnt review this lady further, And then I thought they were all turned into snails, Did someone turn them back And then WHY Shouldnt their punishment have been to keep them as snails Some people you cant give second chances neither, because theyll just repeat the same thing they did in the first place over and over again.
Why isnt there a witch prison in this story This coven should most DEFINITELY be in it,

ماجرای این جلد هم به این صورته که شخصیت بد قصه قیافهش رو عوض میکنه و خودش رو معلم جا میزنه و وارد مدرسه میشه و بعد شخصیت اصلی
داستان یعنی میلدرد دستش رو رو میکنه. درست مثل طرح داستان جلد چهارم هری پاتر. یعنی در اصل اون مثل اینه. I love how Mil got herself tangled in more trouble now involving a new teacher and her improvement as a witch comes in handy for avoiding some disaster.
Otra historia entretenida que se lee en un momento, Para bien debo decir que es como si la autora hubiera hecho caso a mi sugerencia de la reseña anterior ya sé que es imposible porque este libro se escribió hace años: en esta historia Mildred y sus amigas Enid y Maud sí se comportan mucho más como amigas que confían mutuamente las unas en las otras y se ayudan.
Para mal debo decir que, aunque entretenidas por lo cortas que son y por lo bonitos dibujos, las aventuras de esta serie empiezan a resultarme repetitivas.
Al ser anécdotas de la vida de Mildred no tienes la sensación de que haya una historia global que vaya a ninguna parte ni de que se produzca ninguna evolución en el elenco.
Y el entorno, aunque muy chulo, ya no sorprende como al principio porque no se profundiza nada en él.
En definitiva, sí, este libro sigue siendo una historia corta para pasar un buen rato, pero leer siempre lo mismo contado de distintas formas empieza a perder su gracia.
