Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony

A beautiful new cover for the fourth title in Chris Riddell’s Costa Award-winning Goth Girl series: Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony. This spooky mystery adventure is packed full of beautiful black-and-white illustrations and is perfect for children aged 8 - 11!

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, there’s a faun living in her wardrobe and Maltravers is up to his old tricks. Ada must make sure everything goes to plan, and luckily help is at hand from a very interesting house guest . . .
