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! Average Rating:
 Rating: - Fun readThis is an enjoyable little book. The cover is really nice and the illustrations are very well done. The story is entertaining and flows along quickly. Any young reader will be happy with this book. Rating: - Young ReaderThis book was read by my 7 year old daughter who LOVED it! It was written at a level that was able to catch her attention and keep it, while being a "quick" read. The characters were unique and original. The story was engaging. It has been one of her favorite books.

She looks forward to reading the third and fourth books! Rating:  - Highly Recommend from Mother of 9 year old girlI found this book last year shortly after it was published.

Jones because of the language - so I'm picky!) We read this book together, with my daughter reading ...

When her aunt becomes fed up with its tempermentality, she decides it is time to sell the house and move. Using her ghost hunting and mischief making skills, a disappointed Araminta causes enough mischief to deter most prospective buyers. But the reaction of the Wizzard family is unexpected (though not by the reader), leaving her surprised and disappointed, but eventually, ... Read More Rating:  - bad start into independent readingIf you want your kids to talk in half sentences like a cartoon character, this is the book. If you think reading should help them develop their language skills, look somewhere else. On top of it the story is badly developed and not very creative. It feels more like it was written after a formula: take a castle, two ghosts, one annoying person, one nice weird person and a mainly obnoxious but also adventerous girl as the main character and you might have success. Araminta, the main character, is just a self ... Read More
