Lovable but disaster-prone Mildred Hubble is possibly the worst ever trainee witch to darken the doors of Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches.

Mildred makes a wish on a shooting star and to her great surprise it comes true! Mildred's wish-come-true is a small dog but how can she keep him a secret from her friends, and especially the formidable Miss Hardbroom? . . .

The Worst Witch and The Wishing Star is the seventh adventure in Jill Murphy's hilarious Worst Witch series full of fun, magic and mayhem.
