Full of adventure and humour, Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse is the beautifully illustrated winner of the Costa Award β presented here in a gorgeous hardcover. From Chris Riddell, author of the Ottoline series, it is perfect for fans of Howl’s Moving Castle and Netflix’s Wednesday.
Ada Goth is the only child of Lord Goth. The two live together in the enormous Ghastly-Gorm Hall. Lord Goth believes that children should be heard and not seen, so Ada has to wear large clumpy boots so that he can always hear her coming. This makes it hard for her to make friends and, if she’s honest, 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 and Ada begin to unravel a dastardly plot that Maltravers, the mysterious indoor gamekeeper, is hatching. Ada and her friends must work together to foil Maltravers before it’s too late!
Though they can be enjoyed in any order, continue this deliciously dark series with Goth Girl and the Fete Worse Than Death and Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright.

I like this book because it is about ghost and I like ghosts. My favourite person was Ada because she helps anyone who needs help. The thing that interested me was why all her teachers hadn't stayed (eg,) some ran away and some just left out of anger. I would recommend this book to someone because it is a very mysterious book and that is just the best type of book.
I liked all the excitement of the story. I liked Ida. I would recommend it to someone who likes adventure.
This book was great. Good twist. I think everyone should read it.

This book is as about a girl called Ada Goth and her dad Lord Goth . Ada met a friend called Ishmael he was a ghost of a mouse . She also met Emily cabbage and William cabbage. William was see through so he could mix in with the colours . The was a indoor game keeper who was very mean. He traped these poor creatures in gansty gore hall , where Ada lives , by putting changes on there feet .

Amazing
This book is about a girl called Ada who's the daughter of Lord Goth. His housekeeper locked up animals so its up to Ada, the attic club and the ghost of a mouse to save them! My favourite character is William (he's in the attic club), because he can disguise himself. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventures.
It was interesting. I liked the mini book in the pocket at the back of the book

Great book one of the best book series I have read in my life.It is a creepy book with clues everywhere you look.
I loved this book. There was a mystery to solve and it was funny all the way through. I loved the way the characters were named - using twisted versions of famous horror story characters and authors.
I would recommend this book to children from year4-6.
It is avery good book and very interesting too. I best liked the mouse and I recommend people reading it.It is fun and has wierd ghosts .LOVELY book
This book was about a small mouse who got killed and know he is a ghost and only Ada can see him, he has found out that the indoor hunt for mini animals had been changed into a hunt for real big animals that some people want to kill! But with the help of the Attic club they saved the day and Ada learned to tightrope walk
There was a man being mean to animals and a mouse turned into a ghost.They tried to stop him because after a hunt he wanted them dead. I would recommend it to DADDY as it is exciting.
Lucy her governess was my favourite character.
