Content

Violet and her class are going to a real castle! Five days of adventures, swimming, scavenger hunts and fun lie ahead of her. But she’s also a little scared because Hickhack Castle is supposed to have ghosts. Right the first night, she hears strange sounds. And then she sees a ghost with large, scary eyes in the castle garden. But Violet and her friends aren’t going to let that ruin their school trip. With courage and a dose of flower magic, they are hot on the ghost’s heels. And make an astounding discovery: behind the apparition is a man who pretended to be the castle gardener and is trying to buy the property on the cheap.

About the Series

For nine-year-old Violet, there is no better place than her Auntie Abigail's flower shop in a small British town. Both of them share a special gift: With the aid of a book of ancient flower recipes that only Violet and her aunt can read, they use flowers to heal and help people. Over the course of the series, Violet is being introduced to the secret flower magic. In each self-contained volume, she solves a major problem, though of course not without a few hiccups. Her friends, twins Jack (Jaqueline) and Zack, everyday life at school and cheeky animals play important roles as well.
