It’s your first year at Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches, and nothing is going right. You can’t fly, your black cat is gray, you can’t even pull off a laughing spell. You must be the worst witch in the entire school! People are always saying your name — Mildred Hubble — in a really condescending voice. Miss Hardbroom has it in for you, for sure, so naturally you’re worried that you won’t pass your first-term exams to get your junior witch’s certificate. Thankfully the Grand Wizard is coming for Halloween. Finally, something to look forward to!
