Araminta Spookie 5: Ghostsitters by Angie Sage

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?

• A Hilarious Ghost Story: When cool cousin Mathilda arrives to babysit, she doesn't come alone. Get ready to meet Ned and Jed, two troublemaking ghosts with a knack for chaos!
• Haunted House Hijinks: From flying plates to runaway furniture, Araminta's home, Spookie House, is turned completely upside down by the two prank-loving poltergeists.
• A Birthday Mystery: It's Araminta's birthday, but celebrating is hard when your house is a total mess! She'll have to figure out how to handle the ghostly guests before her aunt and uncle get home.
• A Problem-Solving Heroine: Armed with her wits and a clever "Plan," Araminta Spookie proves that even the biggest ghostly problems can be solved with a little courage.
