Araminta Spookie
If you didn’t know this, Angie Sage is also the author of another series called Araminta Spookie (Araminta Spook in the UK).
These funny books tell the story of Araminta ‘Minty’ Spookie, who lives in a haunted house, called Spookie House, with her aunt Tabby, her uncle Drac, and their new inhabitants: the Wizzard family who are trying to solve secrets, misteries, and all the things that the Spookie House is hiding from them!
The books are:
Araminta Spookie 1: My Haunted House
Araminta Spookie 2: The Sword in the Grotto
Araminta Spookie 3: Frognapped
Araminta Spookie 4: Vampire Brat
Araminta Spookie 5: Ghostsitters
… and more to come!
MY HAUNTED HOUSE (Book One)
Araminta Spookie lives in a wonderful old haunted house, but her crabby aunt Tabby wants to move. Aunt Tabby is determined to sell their house—Araminta has to stop her!
With the help of a haunted suit of armor named Sir Horace, a ghost named Edmund, and a lot of imagination, Araminta hatches a plot for an Awful Ambush that is so ghoulish, it just might work!
THE SWORD IN THE GROTTO (Book Two)
Sir Horace is about to turn five hundred years old! Araminta and Wanda need to find him the perfect gift. Araminta finds an ancient sword in a grotto hidden under her haunted house—and it should be a cinch to get it. But she wasn’t planning on the nasty surprise of a portcullis-trap and a rising tide in the grotto. Will Araminta and Wanda make it to Sir Horace’s birthday party?
FROGNAPPED (Book Three)
When something’s amiss in Spookie House, there’s usually only one person to blame—Araminta. But this time she had nothing to do with the disappearance of Barry Wizzard’s frogs, and she is determined to find them. Of course, it’s not going to be that easy, especially when dealing with a crazy character named Old Morris, a dangerous shark, and a demanding aquarium show audience. Can Araminta find the frogs and steal the show?
VAMPIRE BRAT (Book Four)
Araminta thinks something horrible is hiding in the deep, hidden passages of Spookie House—could it be a werewolf? Add to that the arrival of Uncle Drac’s creepy nephew, Max, and Araminta knows things will never be the same. Max is Wanda’s new best friend, and Araminta finds him annoying. She comes up with a plan to figure out what Max is up to—and also to capture the werewolf. But will it work?
GHOSTSITTERS (Book Five)
When Aunt Tabby and Uncle Drac head off to Transylvania, Araminta is upset—they’re going to be away on her birthday. However, when it turns out that her almost-grown-up cousin, Mathilda, will be babysitting, it seems things couldn’t get any better. But Mathilda’s brought along trouble: two rowdy teenage ghosts, Ned and Jed, who listen to no one. It’s a disaster! Can the girls figure out a way to get Ned and Jed out of the house for good?

Hello Angie,I have read all of your Araminta Spook books(and now reading them again). I love your writing skills they’re amazing! It is an honour to be writing to you I would like a six book of Araminta Spook to come out as i am a big fan of your work.Please let me know if this is going to happen.

Hello Lillian,
Sorry about the gap in the Araminta books… Septimus took over for a while. I shall finish writing book 6 this autumn
April 28, 2010 at 4:24 pm
This is the first series of novels that my son has actually showed an interest in reading. Thank you for giving my second grader something that would finally peak an interest in literacy! He is anxiously awaiting book 6 in the Araminta Spookie series… any ideas when we may see it on the shelves?
April 27, 2010 at 2:37 pm
Hello Shauna,
I must confess that Araminta has had to take a back seat to Septimus for a while. She is not happy about it… As soon as I finish Darke I shall be writing Araminta book 6. I have done the first 3 chapters already, but deadlines for Septimus meant I had to concentrate on that. So apologies to your son…
April 28, 2010 at 4:07 pm
I adore ALL of your books loved Syren but Flyte and Magyk will remain my favorites…… LOVE Araminta Spookie! Such a creative series! Cannot wait for the 6th and am anxiously awaiting Darke, you are simply one of the best authors around!
May 11, 2010 at 8:21 pm
Thank you!! It’s great you love both series. I’m really looking forward to getting back to writing more Araminta.
July 5, 2010 at 10:40 pm
Angie, My name is Araminta Star (no joke) and I began reading your Araminta Spookie books because I was both surprised and thrilled to find literature featuring my name (even my childhood nickname of “Minty”). Thanks for unlocking my interest in YA lit. You’ve inspired me tremendously. Anxiously awaiting your 6th. Cheers!
June 16, 2010 at 5:45 pm
Hello Araminta – what a great name!
I’ll be writing the 6th book after I’ve done Darke – I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed them so much.
July 5, 2010 at 10:42 pm
i read the first three and they were great i am nagging my mum and dad to buy me the next one fingers crossed they will

Hello Angie, My daughters and I absolutely love the Araminta Spookie books. We also love the audio version of books 1 & 2. I can not tell you how many times my 8 year old has listen to them. Do you know if there are any plans to record the Audio for the other books ? Thank you !! Lynne
August 13, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Hi Lynne,
Amazon doesn’t have anymore books 3&4 on Audio CD, but you can download books 3&4 (Frognapped & Vampire Brat) here, on Audible.com (an Amazon company). http://www.audible.com/pd?productID=BK_HARP_001507 The books are narrated (again) by the lovely Katherine Kellgren.

Thank you !!! I have it downloaded on both ipods and can hear them giggling every now and than. Thank you again !!

My children (ages 5 & 10) and I love listening to your books on audio. We have listened to the first four books but have been unable to find the 5th one. Is it available on audio?

Dear Angie:
My son Ryan loves your Araminta Spookie series. Is there a book six available, or does the series end at five books. Thank you!
October 20, 2010 at 12:45 am
i have not read them yet i have been meaning to but they are always checked out at the library but i have read all the septimus heap books at least 3 times!
November 23, 2010 at 9:07 am
i hope there might be a book 6th of araminta spookie
November 30, 2010 at 7:21 am
My son Tate devoured the Araminta series as soon as they were published (reading each book over and over) and has been waiting for the next book–both the Araminta website and the Angie Sage site have been saying for a very long time that the next book was coming out in a year. I finally stopped checking those websites months ago–I just discovered this one–please update the other websites–and yes Tate has read all the Septimus Heap books. I’m sure he will enjoy the next Araminta book even though he is now in fourth grade.
February 3, 2011 at 9:20 am
Hi Amy,
Angie is writing now the seventh and final book in the Septimus Heap series, but Ghostsitters is definitely not the final book in the Araminta Spookie series. There will be more books as soon as Angie is done with book seven. We know that there are a lot of Araminta fans out there, but Angie’s priority right know is Septimus Heap. This website is updated regularly, so if there will be more Aramintas in the near future, you’ll hear it here first.
February 3, 2011 at 9:30 am
Angie,
I love your Septimus Books! I actually did not know that there was a new book called Darke, but I can’t find it in the libraries at the moment. Do you know when it may come in? Also, I am reading you Araminta series. I was wondering, did you write a sixth book yet?? Or a seventh. I did not really understand from other’s messages. Thank you!! And you rock
February 10, 2011 at 2:34 am
Also, do you live in Britain? Cuz it is 9:35 PM here. And my comment says that it was posted on 2:34 am.
February 10, 2011 at 2:35 am

March 10, 2011 at 6:05 pm

March 11, 2011 at 8:22 pm

Hi Angie!
Your Araminta books are so entertaining that I don’t care if they’re for kids! I can’t wait till the next one…that is, when I’m finished reading Darke.
Keep up the good work, thanks! 
July 7, 2011 at 5:28 am
Hi Angie, I just finished reading Ghostsitters. My cousin said your series are really interesting. When will Araminta book six come out? I am so excited to read it so in the mean time I will bw reading your other books (again). By the way for the sixth book what will it be called?
August 5, 2011 at 3:57 pm
My niece and nephews and I love the Aramintia Spookie books we were sad to get to the end of book five. We so hope that you are going publish a sixth soon!!!! We wish there was a book six already. Keep up the great work.
September 14, 2011 at 11:34 pm
Thank you, Anne. I am not sure when the 6th book will come out. I haven’t started to write it yet as I am afraid Septimus has taken over things a bit.
November 8, 2011 at 11:59 pm
Thank you!! My 8 year old son has been reading since he was 4. His tested reading level is 5th grade, yet he refused to read more than one chapter in chapter books!! Until now! He LOVES Araminta Spookie and cannot wait to read the next chapter. We are a family of READERS so I am a happy Mama

Now my problem is getting him to stop reading so he can go to sleep!
January 16, 2012 at 7:04 pm
Angie I am one of the older readers. I love the Septimus, and Araminta series both. I don’t know how you manage to write two series at the same time. Thanks for the wonderful stories.
March 20, 2012 at 4:06 am
Araminta Spookie books have entertained me when i was 7-8 years old can’t remember which!
Even if they are for younger children i bet i’d still like them now as they have very could plot lines!
March 22, 2012 at 9:04 pm
We bought my daughter a kindle for her birthday and she was very excited to get the Araminta Spookie books on it. But when we started to purchase the series we discovered that book 3 is not available on Kindle. Is there any plan to put it out in that format soon? I have a very disappointed little girl.
April 4, 2012 at 7:59 pm
Love the Septimus Heap series and wanted to get the Araminta Spookie books on kindle for my daughter as a b-day present. I put the first two on her kindle only to discover that book number 3 hasn’t been released in kindle format. Are there any plans to release Frognapped in digital format in the near future? I know books 4 and 5 are available…so wondering why not 3? Thanks!
April 5, 2012 at 3:18 am
Dear Angie,
I absolutely LOVE your Septimus Heap series. I have just finished reading Syren and thought it was AMAZING!!! You are a fantastic writer and I hope you continue the wonderful Septimus Heap books.
From SeptimusHeapFan1002, an adoring Septimus Heap fan.
P.S: I cannot get a hold of the book Darke.Do you know where I could find any copies? And are you doing any book signings any time soon because I will be FIRST IN LINE!!!!!!!
