Book excerpt: Celebrate the tenth anniversary of Ada Goth and friends in the second book in Chris Riddell's award-winning Goth Girl series. Preparations for the Ghastly-Gorm garden party and bake off are under way. Celebrity cooks are arriving at the hall for the big event and, true to form, Maltravers, the indoor gamekeeper, is acting suspiciously. Elsewhere at Ghastly-Gorm Ada's wardrobe-dwelling lady's maid Marylebone has received a marriage proposal. Ada vows to aid the course of true love and find out what Maltravers is up to but, amidst all this activity, everyone, including her father, appears to have forgotten her birthday! Packed full of beautiful black-and-white illustrations, Goth Girl and the Fete Worse Than Death is the sequel to Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse, winner of the 2013 Costa Children's Book Award. Continue the series with Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright and Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony.
