There are musical goings-on and a mystery for Ada to solve in Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony, the fourth beautifully illustrated adventure in the series from Chris Riddell, 2015–2017 Children’s Laureate and author of the Ottoline books.

Lord Goth is throwing a music festival at Ghastly-Gorm Hall, with performances from the finest composers in the land. Ada can’t wait, but it’s quite distracting when her grandmother is trying to find her father a fashionable new wife. And there’s 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 . . .

For more in the deliciously dark series, check out the first book and winner of the Costa Children’s Book Award, Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse.

It was a good book. The last one in the series and it was about a historical orchestra but they were zombies and when the cannon was fired they fell to bits and were ruined. I like history and zombies and that’s why I liked it!

It was a rather quick, easy read but still not one of his best. It ended happily and had a nice plot. I would recommend it to people that would want a quick read that wouldn't include too much thinking.

I liked it because Chris Riddell is a very good author/ illustrator and goth girl is so realistic.

I liked how kind and clever Goth girl was. This book is good for people 8+ who like action and mysteries- but it is not scary.

My favourite part of the book was when the main character (Ada Goth) meets the Ladies of G.A.G.G.A. and I would recommend this book to others because its a good book to share with others.

I really liked this book though My favourite book so far from the goth girl series is ‘Goth girl and the Wuthering freight’.This book was funny and amusing and I liked the character ‘Tailor extremely Swift’.I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in music and jokes. Great book.
