Джилл Мёрфи — библиография

Милдред Хаббл, худшая ведьма в академии мисс Кэкл, загадывает желание на падающую звезду, и к ее великому удивлению, оно сбывается! Самое сокровенное желание Милдред - это небольшая собачка. И теперь, чтобы избежать неприятностей, она должна прятать свой секрет от подруг и особенно от грозной мисс Хардбрум. Но катастрофа неминуемо приближается...

В начале летнего семестра Милдред Хаббл возвращается в школу Кэкл. На каникулы им было задано сделать какой-нибудь необычный и интересный проект и девочка очень гордится тем, что отлично справилась с этим заданием. По дороге в школу она встречает свою одноклассницу Этель Хэллоу, которая обеспокоена тем, что не смогла справиться с домашним заданием. Во время разговора Этель удается украсть проект Милдред и выдать его за свой. Сумеет ли Милдред доказать свое авторство перед строгой мисс Хардбрум и избежать новых неприятностей, свалившихся на ее голову?

'I wonder,' said Miss Cackle, 'if there is any hope for you in this Academy, Mildred.'
It's the Summer Term at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches and disaster-prone, trainee witch Mildred Hubble is in deep trouble again - all because of the new girl Enid Nightshade, who isn't nearly as sweet and innocent as she looks...

'The cat is supposed to be on the broomstick, Mildred,' said Miss Hardbroom wearily.
The new term spells disaster for Mildred Hubble, trainee witch at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches. But she is determined to lose her embarrassing reputation as the worst witch the Academy has ever seen. But however hard she tries, things rapidly get out of hand!

'Murphy's acute observation of family life continues to delight both children and adults.' - Guardian and Online
'Full of gentle humour and astute observations of human behaviour.' - The Bookseller
Murphy returns to the lovable Bear family of Peace at Last and Whatever Next for a third slice of family life, in which the Bears have had a day we can all identify with - in lockdown more than ever, I suspect. Peace at Last may have been published more than 40 years ago, but the story of the Bears remains as warm and relatable as ever, full of gentle humor and astute observations of human behavior. Delicious.
The Bookseller
Jill Murphy, the author of mum-championing classics such as Peace at Last, has brought out her first picture book for 40 years. It describes the sort of day any family can relate to: baby bear is late for nursery, mummy bear breaks her glasses, and daddy bear spills his coffee at work. The carpe diem sentiment is distilled through Murphy's lovely rhyme and repetition
The Times and Syndicates
In more down-to-earth vein, from earlier in the autumn, Jill Murphy's Just One of Those Days (Macmillan) features the beloved Bear family on a day fraught with mishaps - spilled coffee, squashed glasses, nursery quarrels - followed by consolatory shared pizza and the reflection that it was, after all, just one of those days. Murphy's acute observation of family life continues to delight both children and adults
