Other stories about schools for witches include the Harry Potter series by J K Rowling, starting with [[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J K Rowling|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]. J K Rowling may well have been influenced by Jill Murphy’s Worst Witch series - The Worst Witch to the Rescue is reviewed [[The Worst Witch to the Rescue by Jill Murphy|here]] – or from Diana Wynne Jones' books such as [[Charmed Life (The Chrestomanci) by Diana Wynne Jones|Charmed Life]]. Another classic fantasy novel for teenagers about a young boy growing up and learning about wizardry is Ursula Le Guin’s [[A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin|A Wizard of Earthsea]].
