Ghostly Getaway (Diary of an Accidental Witch, #6) by Perdita Cargill and Honor Cargill is a children's book published on February 11, 2025. It opens with Bea and her fellow classmates on a school trip to Cadabra Castle where there are lots of activities that require teamwork. During the night, they hear lots of strange noises. Ghosts don't exist, right?

A big thank you to NetGalley and Tiger Tales for approving my request for a copy. I received an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) for free in exchange for my honest review.

The story is told in format of a diary of a sixth grade student who just happens to be a witch. This latest edition can be read as a stand alone book and is super cute. It's very similar to The Worst Witch series by Jill Murphy.

Despite not being the target audience, I enjoyed the story and was engaged with it from the beginning. Parts of it reminded me of when I was a kid and went to Girl Scout camp as well as Rock Eagle. It's definitely a book that's great for parents to read with their children as both should find it enjoyable.

Like many children books, there are definitely "good guys" and "bad guys". Surprisingly, I think the characters are relatively developed for being a kids book. Five out of five stars is what I gave Ghostly Getaway (Diary of an Accidental Witch, #6) by Perdita Cargill and Honor Cargill.

Bea and her classmates are off to spooky Cadabra Castle. It’s sure to be a magical trip with lots to do and plenty of fun to be had…Their teachers have different ideas. Miss Lupo is determined that they keep up their Potions work. They have been set a series of witchy mystery challenges as Miss Sparks is sure a few team building activities will help this argumentative lot learn to work together.

Told in a very light-hearted style, these books made reading it fun and appealing. This book also shows the importance of teamwork and setting aside differences. It’s an enjoyable story that also shows the positive side of discussing your worries rather than keeping it to oneself.

This was really cute. My kids enjoyed it, I’d say it’s aimed at grade 2-4. There is a lot going on which could be distracting but overall was a fun read with cute characters and chaotic story to keep kids having fun.

Cute story, but the various caps, fonts, time stamps for everything, etc. were distracting. It came across dramatic but nevertheless couldn't quite keep my (or my kids') attention.

This is a new to me series and I loved it. It is full of mischief, mayhem and magic with a sprinkling of friendship and a specific focus on team work!
It’s a quick and easy to read which is perfect for children 7-9yrs

I read this with my 7 and 9 year old daughters and we all enjoyed it! The illustrations were adorable. We loved the fun story with a little spookiness! Bea and her friends are lovable characters. I like the use of a diary to tell the story. A fun, magical story!

I am a grown adult and absolutely enjoyed this cute story! I think it’s perfect for late elementary/middle school age. I loved the format it’s written in (diary format), all the graphics and art, and the characters and relationships were sweet! Such a fun read!
