Get ready for more adventures with Araminta, the star of a delightfully "spookie" chapter book series from Angie Sage, author of the New York Times bestselling Septimus Heap series!

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?
