Mildred is back in trouble thanks to the new girl, Enid Nightshade, who isn’t as well behaved as she appears. The more Mildred tries to stay out of trouble, the more she finds herself in horrible situations.

Humorous, gently eerie . . . Will appeal to beginning chapter-book readers. For fans of the previous three books and young witch fanciers.
