From the Back:
Araminta Spookie (or "Minty" if you prefer) lives in a strange ol" house. It's haunted, in fact. You see, Minty's parents went vampire hunting and never came back. And now she lives with her aunt Tabby and uncle Drac (who sleeps hanging upside down.)
Haunted or not, Minty loves the creepy place. Trouble is, her aunt wants to pull up stakes and move. Aunt Tabby thinks the house is cold and dusty and full of spiders. True enough, but Minty won't give up her home without a fight. All she needs a little help from a haunted suit of armor and a ghost named Edmund. Then she can carry out the Awful Ambush - and scare away any potential buyers.
