After looking through some of the outstanding Augmented reality apps for all ages, and some of the particularly interesting ones for kids. I start thinking about investigating the story and trying to bring the most interesting and interactive parts in to my project.

‘The Worst Witch’

Main characters:

Mildred Hubble, a young witch who attends Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches. Even though she’s trying so hard to behave good, the clumsy and daredevil’s personality leads her life into misfortunes in the school of magic.

Tabby Cat, Mildred’s company pets, who needs to teach the cat ride the broomstick with her, as to follow the traditions.

Miss Cackle, the amiable and benevolence headmistress of the school of magic.

Miss Hardbroom, the harsh severe teacher of Mildred, always not satisfied with her behaviours.

Maud Moonshine, Mildred’s best friend, a funny partnership in appearance.

Enid Nightshade, a friend of Mildred, a practical joker who is more likely than Mildred to get them all into trouble.

Ethel Hallow, a high-born, snobbish and vindictive classmate, always looks for Mildred’s trouble.

The key stages of the book that I tend to build on:

The novel begins with Mildred Hubble and the upcoming traditional assembly where all of the first-years are given their own black cats that they will teach to ride on their broomsticks with them. Unlike the other girls, who receive black kittens, Mildred receives a tabby cat, which she simply calls Tabby. The kitten is unable to sit on a broomstick, so Mildred carries Tabby in her bag. Miss Hardbroom disapproves and Mildred has to stop. Afterwards, another witch called Ethel Hallow teases Mildred about it, and dares her to turn her into a frog. Mildred loses her temper and turns Ethel into a pig instead.

In the next chapter, Mildred and Maud make an invisibility potion instead of a laughing potion in their class test.

In the next chapter, the girls are practising for a broomstick display for Halloween. Ethel lends Mildred her spare broom, on which she has secretly put a spell. During the Halloween festival, Mildred’s broom starts bucking, causing all the girls to fall from their broomsticks. The Chief Magician denounces the academy, and Mildred is summoned to a meeting with Miss Cackle and Miss Hardbroom the next morning. Mildred, fearing expulsion, decides to run away with Tabby.

When walking through the forests near the academy, Mildred hears voices through the trees and comes across a group of witches, headed by one who looks like Miss Cackle. After hearing their plot to turn every teacher and student witch in the academy into frogs, Mildred turns the group into snails, packs them into cardboard boxes and takes them back to the academy. At first, Miss Cackle and Miss Hardbroom refuse to believe her, but when Mildred describes the leader, Miss Cackle realises she sounds like her identical twin sister, Agatha. They turn Agatha and the rest of the group back into humans, Mildred’s interview is cancelled, and she is praised as a hero to the rest of the academy.
