The Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse (Vol. 1)

“A delightfully gothic tale from the award-winning author of the Otolina series” - The Bookseller's Buyers Guide Ada Gotic is Lord Gotic's only daughter. They live in the enormous Sinister Palace. Lord Gotic is always busy with his events and guests, so he can never pay attention to his daughter. He believes children should be heard and not seen, so Ada is forced to wear giant boots so her father can always hear her coming. All of this makes it difficult to find new friends, and the girl feels very lonely. When William and Emily Cabbage stay at the castle, Ada realizes something is very suspicious about Malavesso, the gamekeeper. With the help of the guests and a ghost mouse named Ishmael, Ada decides to investigate. But can she convince her father that his suspicions are true before it's too late? The book combines mystery, humor, friendship, and adventure in a wonderful edition with Chris Riddel's unmistakable and elaborate illustrations.
