A deliciously dark mystery series by Chris Riddell, Costa Children’s Book Award-winner and 2015–2017 Children’s Laureate, each packed with beautiful illustrations and including a full-colour collectable mini book.
In Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse we meet Ada Goth, the only child of Lord Goth. The two live together in the enormous Ghastly-Gorm Hall, where Ada begins to unravel a dastardly plot involving a ghostly mouse called Ishmael.
Everyone appears to have forgotten Ada’s birthday in Goth Girl and the Fete Worse Than Death, and there are even more strange goings-on in Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright: mysterious footprints, howls in the night and some suspiciously chewed shoes. In book four, Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony, Lord Goth is throwing a music festival, but Ada must make sure everything goes to plan.
