Angie Sage is a somewhat charming writer and careful at crafting. The Araminta Spooky is will be especially interesting for fun readers of about 10 years of age. Her stories are also fairly short with beautiful illustrations that add life to the stories. However, some of the plot may not be quite amusing for elderly readers. It could be more interesting as a fine read aloud book for the young children. You could enjoy its quirky details that are healthy proportions to leave you a bit scared. Any reader that delights in fun escapism stories that are spooky and not scary should look for Angie Sage’s series.

From writing to toddlers to the young adults, Sage’s writing has been solid enough. She includes enough details to spare the whole narration from being quite colorless.
