Rating: 5

Review: Our kids (9 and 10) really enjoyed this as bedtime reading - as other reviews have pointed out, it must be read aloud with all the voices. It's a sharp, energetic adventure with plenty to giggle at, some lovely inventive ideas and a wealth of Gothic literary references that whip by at speed. Children and adults can get a lot from it, even if the adults sometimes have to cough and pretend they really do understand some of the smart allusions to historic characters. The story completely involved us and had a satisfying ending so it's a pleasure to discover there are more in the series. Given that the book is beautifully bound and filled with beautiful (and funny) illustrations, this is well worth collecting. For World Book Day, my daughter decided she wanted to go to school as Ada Goth - what more praise could you wish for?

    Description: Full of adventure and humour, Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse is the beautifully illustrated winner of the Costa Award - presented here in a gorgeous hardcover. From Chris Riddell, author of the Ottoline series, it is perfect for fans of Howl's Moving Castle and Netflix's Wednesday. Ada Goth is the only child of Lord Goth. The two live together in the enormous Ghastly-Gorm Hall. Lord Goth believes that children should be heard and not seen, so Ada has to wear large clumpy boots so that he can always hear her coming. This makes it hard for her to make friends and, if she's honest, she's rather lonely. Then one day William and Emily Cabbage come to stay at the house, and together with a ghostly mouse called Ishmael they and Ada begin to unravel a dastardly plot that Maltravers, the mysterious indoor gamekeeper, is hatching. Ada and her friends must work together to foil Maltravers before it's too late! Though they can be enjoyed in any order, continue this deliciously dark series with Goth Girl and the Fete Worse Than Death and Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright.

    Description: There are musical goings-on and a mystery for Ada to solve in Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony, the fourth beautifully illustrated adventure in the series from Chris Riddell, 2015-2017 Children's Laureate and author of the Ottoline books. Lord Goth is throwing a music festival at Ghastly-Gorm Hall, with performances from the finest composers in the land. Ada can't wait, but it's quite distracting when her grandmother is trying to find her father a fashionable new wife. And there's a faun living in her wardrobe.

Ada vows to aid the course of true love - and find out what Maltravers is up to - but amidst all this activity, everyone, including her father, appears to have forgotten her birthday! Though they can be enjoyed in any order, continue this deliciously dark series with Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright and Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony.
