Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse

By: Chris Riddell

Narrated by: Lucy Brown

Ada Goth is the only child of Lord Goth. The two live together in the enormous Ghastly-Gorm Hall. It's hard for her to make friends and 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 begin to unravel a dastardly plot.

Ada and her friends must work together to foil the evil gamekeeper, Maltravers, before it's too late!

Critic reviews

‘[W]arm, witty… delivers an original, entertaining and heart-warm tale of courage, friendship and loyalty’ LANCASHIRE EVENING POST

‘[A] cracking combination of rollicking mystery adventure and ghost story, beautifully… written with an outright humour aimed at children and a sly, literary wit aimed at parents’ DAILY MAIL

So much fun!

This was so much fun!
I immersion read this - for the beautiful illustrations and the awesome narrator, and I warmly recommend enjoying and experiencing the story that way.

As I have said in some of my previous reviews, I <i>much</i> prefer Chris Riddell's illustrations when they are more gentle and this book, being a wholesome and whimsical children's book, just reaffirms my opinion.

The narrator, Lucy Brown, is amazing in it, and I will definitely check out her other work (as well as continue on with this whimsical and cozy series).
