About book Araminta Spookie 5: Ghostsitters (2009)
Ghostsitters is a neat little story that is a very light, fast-paced read. I really like the Araminta Spook series by Angie Sage. They are for younger readers but the storyline is interesting enough to keep me entertained.I find Araminta to be such a funny character. She is clueless about so many things like in this book she had no idea what a pizza was. It was so cute.The illustrations are really cool too. I find the way the people are drawn to be similar to Arnold of Hey Arnold, with the football shaped heads.There were a couple of things that were meant to be a surprise but I guessed them part way through the story but that didn't stop me from enjoying it.Overall, Ghostsitters is a neat little story that is entertaining and a very light and fast read that is mostly good for younger readers but it is a delightful story for anyone who is interested.I'd recommend this one to anyone who likes ghosts and little mysteries. Reviewed by Cat for TeensReadToo.comIt isn't enough that Araminta and best friend, Wanda, are left behind during her birthday week just so Aunt Tabby, Uncle Drac, and Wanda's parents can explore the giant bat caves of Transylvannia.Great Aunt Emilene has been "delayed," which means the girls are stuck with a worse babysitting prospect: Nurse Watkins. Thank goodness Araminta's cooler-than-cool cousin Mathilda shows up and convinces Nurse Watkins that Aunt Tabby wouldn't mind if she looked after the girls alone.But Araminta and Wanda quickly realize there are worse things than having an old fuddy-duddy for a babysitter once they meet Ned and Jed, two young poltergeists Mathilda can't make go away.The mischievous spirits aren't in Spookie Manor more than five minutes before wreaking all sorts of havoc. With resident ghost Sir Horace already on edge over the planned destruction of his old keep, it's not long before he's threatening to vacate the premises permanently. When Ned and Jed's antics lead to the discovery of a tarnished old ring hidden in Sir Horace's armor, the old ghost is beyond despair and out the door with the manor's other two ghosts (his page Edmond and faithful wold Fang) in tow.Together Araminta, Wanda, and Mathilda must find the source of Horace's distress, save his keep, bring their ghosts home, convince their new guests Spookie Manor *isn't* where they want to settle permanently, and set the house back to rights - all before the grown-ups return from their trip.With its light, humorous storytelling and quirky, engaging characters, GHOSTSITTERS gives young readers an entertaining escape into Araminta's world of paranormal excursions and hijinx.
