Goth Girl and the Fete Worse Than Death

by Chris Riddell

Ages 8–11 Reading age 9 Novel Set in everyday life funnyspooky

Ghastly-Gorm Hall is hosting a baking competition, and Ada must work out who keeps sabotaging it while managing several dozen house guests.

A story about children and magical creatures, funny and spooky in tone. We would put it with children of 8–11, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.

Nothing flagged

We have not flagged any content in this one that a parent would usually want warning about.

Part of a series

This is book 2 of the Goth Girl series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

If they like this, try these

Chosen by matching age, reading age, tone and subject — not by what is selling.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
