The sixth graders at Extraordinary are disappointed to learn that their school trip to a creepy castle is less of a vacation and more of a lesson in teamwork. And is the castle HAUNTED?

Bea is SO excited to be on a field trip to Cadabra Castle—it’s the SPOOKIEST castle she's EVER seen! She can’t wait to explore somewhere new with her classmates. But the principal, Ms. Sparks, has other plans—apparently the trip isn’t a vacation, but rather a chance for the students to improve their teamwork. And even scarier for Bea than having to team up with bossy Blair are the rumors that the castle is haunted. But ghosts aren’t real…are they? With black-and-white illustrations throughout. 

Told through Bea's diary entries, the Diary of an Accidental Witch series invites readers to follow Bea on a humorous journey of self-discovery as she learns where she truly belongs.
Perdita and Honor Cargill are a mother/daughter writing partnership and the authors of the series Waiting for Callback. Originally from the Scottish Highlands, Perdita spent many years as a lawyer before turning to writing fiction. Honor, having recently graduated from Oxford, is working on fiction and non-fiction writing projects as well as studying for a masters degree at the Courtauld Institute of Art. They both live in London.

Katie Saunders knew she wanted to be an illustrator when she had a picture published in Twinkie Magazine at the age of five. Katie worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time illustrator. Katie lives in Kent with her partner, two children, two cats, and a crazy sausage dog named Rolo.
