The Cursed First Term of Zelda Stitch

Imagine if you read your teacher’s diary… and discovered she was a witch! With courage, imagination and a certain amount of recklessness, Zelda Stitch begins her first year of teaching primary school - as an incompetent (incognito) witch.

_‘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.
