on a scale of one to five, i'd probably be stretching a bit to give this book a 2.5, but i'd still probably give it that, if only for the vibe that it tries (but fails) to put across. on a scale of what the stars mean when you hold the cursor over them, however, it gets two, just because "it was okay."

I really loved the artwork throughout this book. It was quirky, humorous and appropriate as well as creative for a chapter book.

OK, I cheated. Just finished reading the first chapter of the first book in this series. It's funny, not hilarious, but funny. If you like Angie Sage's books, you might like this Araminta Spookie series. It's for younger readers who can handle ghosts.
Readers will enjoy Jimmy Pickering's graphic design.

This is a delightful haunting book, full of ghosts, bats,
spiders, and extra-sticky strawberry jell-o. One of my
favorite dialogue:"Why yes, Miss Spookie, indeed I am a
ghost. The ghost of Sir Horace Harbinger of Hernia Hall, at your service."
