First Prize for the Worst Witch by Jill Murphy is a delightful paperback fantasy adventure and the eighth and final book in The Worst Witch series. Back at Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches, Mildred Hubble has somehow made it all the way to Year Four, even though everyone still knows her as the school’s most disaster-prone pupil.

This time, Mildred secretly hopes to achieve something truly impressive and win the school’s highest honour. But with her old rival Ethel Hallow still causing trouble and Mildred’s own luck never staying steady for long, things quickly become as chaotic and magical as ever.

Jill Murphy’s storytelling is warm, funny, and full of charm, making this book a favourite for generations of young readers. First Prize for the Worst Witch is an excellent choice for children who enjoy magical school stories, lovable underdog heroines, and imaginative adventures with humour, friendship, and heart.
