This was my first foray into The Worst Witch series and although I thought it a little old fashioned, with the age-old popular themes of friendships and boarding school, and a continuing nemesis to defeat; I did enjoy the story and even the predictable ‘everything is ok’ at the end. Great for 6+ girls.
