Synopsis
There are musical goings-on at Ghastly-Gorm Hall: Lord Goth is throwing a music festival, with performances from the finest composers in the land. Ada cannot wait, but it is quite distracting when her grandmother is trying to find her father a fashionable new wife, and there is a faun living in her wardrobe. Worst of all, Maltravers is up to his old tricks, and Ada must make sure everything goes to plan; luckily, help is at hand from a very interesting house guest. The fourth beautifully illustrated Goth Girl adventure, from Chris Riddell, 2015-2017 Children's Laureate.
