Average rating
Packed full of beautiful black-and-white illustrations from author Chris Riddell, Goth Girl and the Fete Worse Than Death is the second in this ghostly, funny series from the Costa Award winner Chris Riddell. 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. Very 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! Though they can be enjoyed in any order, continue this deliciously dark series with Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright and Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony.

Chris Riddell is one of my favourite authors/illustrators. I was not aware of this Goth Girl series before but I thoroughly enjoyed this read!

I liked Ada , the main character of the book. She has many governess but she liked Lucy the best. She taught ada many things including umbrella fencing. This book was alright but it wasn’t the best so I gave this book a few stars. I like the umbrella fencing bit the most because I feel like that was really cool but the plot wasn’t really funny for me . I recommend this book to kids 8+ that like dark stories.

It was a great follow on to the first goth girl and was very exiting and intriguing at the end with the gourmet vampires

My favourite character is Ada because she’s talented in her own way she’s kind. I thought the book was good. I’d recommend this to anyone who likes mystery.

I liked the fact that the author used mythical creatures because it makes it al whole lot more interesting.

Amazing book- this book is the best! It is about Lucy Bouregard the 300-year-old vampire who is Governess to the daughter of Lord Goth - Ada Goth. I like Emily Cabbage best because she is it is really good it’s kind and patient and she’s a good water colour artist.
