The Cursed First Term of Zelda Stitch. Bad Teacher. Worse Witch. — Nicki Greenberg

'Zelda rides a broomstick!'

'Zelda's got a bat-friend!'

'Zelda smells like toadstools!'

'Witch! Witch! Witch!'


It was bad enough when I was eleven years old. But if they sniff me out now, it'll be a disaster.


Zelda Stitch isn't much of a witch - she's hoping she'll make a better primary school teacher. But if the vice principal finds out about her, her dream will go up in a puff of smoke.


Keeping her magic secret isn't the only trouble bubbling in Ms Stitch's classroom: there's wild-child Zinnia, lonely Eleanor, secretive Phoebe and a hairy, eight-legged visitor called Jeremy. Not to mention the nits...


With NO HELP AT ALL from her disagreeable cat Barnaby, Zelda must learn to be a better teacher, a better friend and a better witch - even if that means taking broomstick lessons.


Magic. Mischief. Mayhem. Zelda's classroom is a cauldron full of laughs.
