Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse by Chris Riddell

Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse

Meet Ada Goth. She lives with her father (Lord Goth) in an enormous creepy house called Ghastly-Gorm Hall. Her father has lots of servants running round the house and there are at least half a dozen GHOSTS!!!! But poor Ada has no friends to explore her house with. Then one night every thing changes when Ada meets a ghost mouse called Ishmael. They explore her house together.

The good luck doesn't end there for Ada because at breakfast she meets two people called Emily and William Cabbage. They say that their father Charles Cabbage is building a calculating machine in the Chinese drawing room. William tells Ada about the Attic Club. She goes there and makes a lot more new friends.

When Ada and Emily go exploring in the Back of Beyond Garden (Unfinished) they come upon a door that says "The Secret Garden". They wander through the door and come across another that says "The Even More Secret Garden" but the door is locked and they can't get through it. Suddenly they see Maltravers coming towards them. They quickly scramble up a large tree and luckily aren't seen. What was Maltravers doing there on his day off???

To find out more you should definitely read this book!!!!!!

  1. What a colourful review Jessica! Thank you for writing it. I'd not heard of this book before but I think I'll buy it now. I just searched for it on the internet, what a cool cover. Do you think boys would enjoy it too or is it more aimed at girls?
