5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT, MAYBE THE BEST ONE YET, 29 Dec 2005
By Conor Byrne "Conor" (Hampshire England) - See all my reviews
This is Jill's newest Worst Witch book, and I might go as far as to say that it is her best. With the mischevious ways of Mildred Hubble, her and her friends Maud and Enid are now in Form Three with a new form mistress, Miss Granite, who has a mass of red curls and a strange cloak that hides most of her face. But prepare for laughs - Mildred loses her hair and when it grows again, it just won't stop! A brilliant book, you won't be disappointed. Along with 'A Bad Spell for the Worst Witch', this is the best one yet/

3.0 out of 5 stars Could do better, 17 Oct 2005
By Emily Kent "giellagirl" (York, England (at present)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Despite first reading the worst witch books fifteen years ago, i still delighted at the prospect of a new addition to the series. Fond memories of childhood and all that. Maybe it's a critical adult perspective on a series aimed completely at children but this latest fell far short of the mark. First, at a very stingy 156 pages of large print and illustrations, i feel a distinct annoyance at an author whom i suspect is merely running on her own steam of her previous works, in an attempt to catch up with the Harry Potter bandwagon. The story is clipped and one dimensional. A single thread which plays out all too quickly and leaves one wishing for something more. I am used the Worst Witch books covering an entire term. This one felt more like a single episode of the bland tv series.
One thing that i truly wish the author had realised before she picked up a dictionary of teenage slang for the '00s was how well the original four books had aged. Her attempts to allign this new book with the harry potter generation have not worked. Whereas the older classic worst witch books hold their own against the weighty, overrated Harry Potter series, this one lets the side down and comes across as a cheap imitation of the latter.
The illustrations are as beautiful as ever, which makes up for the overall disappointment of this short read. You're all going to buy it. Nothing I can say will or should stop you. But prepare for disappointment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Book!, 1 Oct 2007
By Charisma "Chrissy" (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Worst Witch Saves the Day (Young Puffin Story Books) (Paperback)
I really do not like this book. It has many misspelled words and the sentences in it run on forever. I bought the book for my younger sister. She is learning how to spell and write words. Reading this book really will not help her any. I do not and will not recommend this book!
