Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse
(Autor) Chris RiddellWinner of the 2013 Costa Children's Book Award Nominated for the 2013 National Book Awards Children's Book of the Year Nominated for the 2015 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal Celebrate the tenth anniversary of Goth Girl with the first book in the Chris Riddell's illustrated series for middle grade readers. 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, the three children 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! Continue the award-winning Goth Girl series with Goth Girl and the Fete Worse Than Death, Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright, and Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony.
