Ariadne Kane

The Eleventh Finger and the Pirate in the Attic Ariadne Kane First edition

The fate of the world rests in the six-fingered hand of one magical twelve-year-old. Caleb and his family move into a haunted house they inherited, and he quickly learns from the ghost of his something great-grandfather that his extra finger is not only a family curse, but a sign of his magical abilities. As he struggles with a school bully and a creepy principal, he fights to control the magic inside himself. Caleb discovers that a coven of witches ordered Principal Havers to steal back an ancient magical gauntlet. If the principal secures the gauntlet, he?ll take it to the evil master who sent him. But if Caleb finds the gauntlet before his 13th birthday, the Magia Ladron will claim Caleb, giving him the power to save the ones he loves. Everything hinges on Halloween night.
