Plot
The story centres around Mildred Hubble, who is invariably the "Worst Witch" at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches.[1] Mildred causes many mishaps, including being late for school, making all of her classmates fall down, unintentionally turning herself and her friend Maud Warlock invisible, and transforming the class bully Ethel into a pig. The climax surrounds Miss Amelia Cackle's notorious evil twin sister, Agatha, plotting to take over the academy. Ultimately Agatha is foiled by Mildred, and Mildred establishes herself as the hero for the academy.
