New Angie Sage Series

Found these cute little books today at the bookshop, and the author is a good old English lady, Angie Sage who wrote the Septimus Heap tales Magyk, Flyte and Physik ( I have Magyk on its way to us/me right now so looking forward to reading that). So this new series is called "Araminta Spookie" ( in the UK it is Araminta Spook not Spookie!) and they are very very similar in size and style as the Spiderwick Chronicle books, which I adore. The story is about a haunted house which the Aunt wants to sell, Araminta her neice wants to stop her!!




I found the books shelved in the Kds Fiction rather than the Intermediate Readers like the SC series are. They are going on my wishlist, the cover illustration reminds me a lot of the USA edition of the 'Pure Dead' series by Debi Gliori.

But are they though?
I have been trying like mad to find out. The PURE DEAD series is not listed on his website.
