Description

A beautiful new cover for the third title in Chris Riddell's Costa Award-winning Goth Girl series: Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright. This funny adventure, featuring Ada Goth and her friends, is packed with gorgeous black-and-white illustrations throughout, and is perfect for girls and boys aged 8 to 11!

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's something strange going on at Ghastly-Gorm - mysterious footprints, howls in the night and some suspiciously chewed shoes. Can Ada, the Attic Club and their new friends the Vicarage sisters (Charlotte, Emily and Anne) work out what's going on before the next full moon?

Enjoy Ada's other adventures in Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse, Goth Girl and the Fete Worse Than Death and Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony!
