Synopsis

A beautiful fresh 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 . . .

For more in the deliciously funny dark series, check out the first book and winner of the Costa Children's Book Award, Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse, followed by Goth Girl and the Fete Worse Than Death and Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright.

Riddell’s outstanding black-and-white illustrations have a wonderfully nostalgic feel and bring to life this funny and yet often moving tale. . . This is reading heaven for all young Goths
