The Sword in the Grotto (Araminta Spook #2)

Author(s): Angie Sage

Series - children

The second of a series of witty, spooky stories about a brilliantly feisty character, by the author of internationally bestselling Magyk. What do you buy someone for their 500th birthday? Araminta is desperately trying to think of the perfect gift for her favourite ghost, Sir Horace, but it's hard to buy gifts for someone with no specific hobbies and no body. Then an inspired idea leads to trouble when all does not go as planned, and Araminta wonders whether she'll ever see Horace or her family again, let alone have time to organise the party. First published 2006.
