Araminta Spookie 5: Ghostsitters

By Angie Sage and Jimmy Pickering

When Araminta’s almost-grown-up cousin comes to babysit she brings two naughty ghosts with her—another fun, kooky adventure in the Araminta Spookie series from Angie Sage, author of the New York Times bestselling Septimus Heap series.  If you’re looking for chapter books for kids ages 6-10, this series is a great choice.

Aunt Tabby and Uncle Drac are heading off to Transylvania on Araminta's birthday—without Araminta. To make matters worse, Araminta will have a babysitter. When that sitter turns out to be Araminta's supercool cousin, Mathilda, things start to look up—except Mathilda shows up with two rowdy ghosts who destroy the house and ignore all the rules. Can Araminta come up with a Plan to get rid of these two bad ghosts once and for all?

Reviews for Araminta Spookie 5

[djlunchlady91404 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Minty's week is just not going right. Her Birthday is forgotten, her family leaves to go on an awesome vacation without her, Her best friend becomes best friends with Misty's awesome cousin and the twin ghosts that follow Mathilda are causing quite a bit of problems. Will Wanda and Minty be able to fix everything before their family gets home? I really liked this story. Both the story and the illustrations were very cute. I initially started reading this series to judge what reading level they are (I have a house full of emerging reader's) and I ended up falling in Love. I can't wait to share this series with my little ones.
