Synopsis
People are flocking to Ghastly-Gorm Hall from far and wide to compete in Lord Goth's Literary Dog Show. The esteemed judges are in place and the contestants are all ready to win: Sir Walter Splott is preparing his Lanarkshire Lurcher, Plain Austen is preening her Hampshire Blue Bloodhound, and Homily Dickinson and her Yankee Doodle Poodle are raring to go. But there is something strange going on at Ghastly-Gorm, mysterious footprints, howls in the night and some suspiciously chewed shoes. With their new friends the Vicarage sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, can Ada and the Attic Club work out what is going on before the next full moon? The third Goth Girl book, a funny, spooky adventure with a miniature book tucked inside the back cover; Chris Riddell even appears in it as a famous canine caricaturist.
