4-6Araminta Spookie series.
Illustrated by
Jimmy Pickering.
With her aunt and uncle out of town, Araminta Spookie is delighted to have her cool cousin Mathilda as a baby-sitter--until two teenage poltergeists try to ruin everything. Like the others in the series, this fifth story about Araminta is fast-paced, the writing is smooth, and the atmosphere's cheerful, as shown in the funny, varied black-and-white cartoon illustrations.
