Book of Interest: The Worst Witch

It's so nice when you find a new fandom. I've quickly become a fan of The Worst Witch. When I posted my Hiatus Watch for the 2017 show, I mistakenly wrote that there were three adaptation but apparently there are five: 1) The Worst Witch movie (1986), 2) The Worst Witch TV series (1998), 3) Weirdsister College TV series (2001), 4) The New Worst Witch TV series (2005) and 5) The Worst Witch TV series (2017). The two I didn't know about were the Weirdsister College and The New Worst Witch. I didn't realize there were so many adaptations.

I recently finished watching the 2017 adaptation and will be starting on the 1998 one. After watching the show, now I want to read the book series by Jill Murphy. It will be interesting to read the stories as well as see what was included from the books in the TV shows and movie (which I plan to watch as well).

Description:

Mildred Hubble is starting her first year at Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches — and making a mess of it! She can’t ride her broomstick without crashing, she’s always getting her spells mixed up, and worst of all, the teacher’s pet, Ethel, has just become her sworn enemy.
