Mildred Hubble, the most accident-prone student at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, is determined to impress with her summer project—a spell to make animals talk. However, her arch-nemesis, Ethel Hallow, steals Mildred's idea and her enchanted tortoise, Einstein. To rescue Einstein and reclaim her project, Mildred must brave a perilous broomstick flight through a violent thunderstorm. Will she succeed and finally earn the respect of her teachers?
