Meet Araminta, the star of a delightfully "spookie" chapter book series from Angie Sage, author of the bestselling Septimus Heap series!

Araminta Spookie lives in a wonderful old haunted house, but her crabby aunt Tabby wants to move. Aunt Tabby is determined to sell their house—Araminta has to stop her!

With the help of a haunted suit of armor named Sir Horace, a ghost named Edmund, and a lot of imagination, Araminta hatches a plot for an Awful Ambush that is so ghoulish, it just might work!


  • Spooky (Not Scary) Adventure: Araminta loves her haunted house, and she’ll do anything to save it—even if it means planning an “Awful Ambush” full of bats, spiders, and strawberry Jell-O.
  • Secret Passages: The key to saving her home might be hidden deep within its walls. Luckily, Araminta is an expert at exploring dark, dusty, and spider-filled secret passages.
  • Unlikely Friends: You can’t stop a house sale alone! Araminta gets help from some very unusual allies: a talking suit of armor named Sir Horace and a shy ghost boy named Edmund.
  • Hilarious Family Antics: Living with a crabby aunt, a bat-loving uncle, and a couple of ghosts isn’t always easy, but for Araminta, it’s home. A laugh-out-loud story about a weird and wonderful family.
