REVIEW: GOTH GIRL<br />
Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony is the fourth in the series by illustrator and<br />
children’s author Chris Riddell, which follows the mystery-solving adventures<br />
of Ada Goth. Ada lives at Ghastly-Gorm Hall with her father, Lord Goth, and<br />
their indoor gamekeeper Maltravers, who always seems to be up to something.<br />
In the third book, Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright, the Goths host a literary<br />
dog show, which is threatened by some ‘mysterious footprints, howls in the<br />
night and some suspiciously chewed shoes’ - luckily Ada and her friends figure<br />
out what’s going on just in time. By the end of the book, Ada is heading off for<br />
her first term at The Windy Moor School.<br />
The Sinister Symphony picks up during the following summer holidays, with Ada back at Ghastly-Gorm<br />
Hall and getting ready for the music festival ‘Gothstock’, which will feature ‘performances from the finest<br />
musicians in the land’ - if everything goes to plan…<br />
Chris, former Children's Laureate and <strong>Viva</strong> Brighton contributor, says, “Over the series, Ada has gone<br />
from being a lonely only child with a distant parent to being the centre of a group of best friends, who call<br />
themselves The Attic Club. Her relationship with her father has been transformed into a close, loving one<br />
and she has gone away to school for the first time.” There may be a fifth book on the horizon, in which Ada<br />
travels to ‘the newly fashionable sea side resort of Brighton’, the Caribbean and the Highlands of Scotland.<br />
Keep your eyes peeled for ‘Goth Girl and the Timorous Yeti’. Rebecca Cunningham<br />
