The Worst Witch and the Wishing Star by Jill Murphy is a delightful paperback fantasy adventure and the seventh book in The Worst Witch series. Back at Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches, Mildred Hubble is still the same lovable and disaster-prone trainee witch, even when she hopes for something magical to improve her luck.

When Mildred makes a wish on a shooting star, she is amazed when it actually comes true. But her wonderful surprise quickly becomes another source of trouble, especially when she has to hide it from her friends and from the formidable Miss Hardbroom. What follows is another warm and chaotic school-term adventure full of magic, mishaps, and heart.

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