The Worst Witch to the Rescue Paperback – August 25, 2015

I discovered the Worst Witch books last year, and they are delightful. They follow the adventures of a young British witch, Mildred, who attends an academy for witches. Unlike the Harry Potter series, there is no darkness nor evil creatures to scare young readers. The girls do have to contend with Miss Hardbroom, their strict, unbending (HA) teacher who seems to take special delight in pointing out Mildred's failings. But mainly, the books are full of adventures about the girls and their cats with the occasional bit of magic thrown in. Mildred, though she tries hard, just can't seem to master much and often gets blamed for mischief created by a naughty classmate. My 5 ½ and 4 ½ year old granddaughters are captivated by these books and we have read and re-read them all. They are both eagerly awaiting the 7th book, due out this summer.

Fun to read. Must read for any child or adult

Divertido

本当に面白くて面白くて徹夜して読みました。心優しいドジなミルドレッド、思いやりのある親友のモードと茶目っ気のあるイーニッド。ミルドレッドの敵役でずる賢く意地悪で要領が良く先生のお気に入りのエッスルと仲間のドラシラ。厳しい担任のハードブルーム先生とのんきなクラックル校長。そしてミルドレッドのペットで駄目猫のタビー。このシリーズに出てくるキャラクターはすばらしい。どれも主役になれる濃いキャラクター。この本では魔法で一時的にしゃべれるようになった陸がめのアインシュタイン。このカメがミルドレットの窮地を救ってくれます。設定が魔女学校になっているけれど、イギリスの女学校で繰り広げられる青春物語。はらはらするストーリー展開は素晴らしいの一言。英語の学習にもうってつけ。すばらしい！
