"The Worst Witch" by Tim Cufry fell short of being an engaging read. The story felt disjointed and the worldbuilding was weak. The magical school setting was unconvincing and lacked depth. The supporting characters were forgettable and their actions didn't always make sense. The book had potential, but it failed to deliver a captivating story. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and would advise others to look elsewhere for an enjoyable read.
