Goth Girl and the Fete Worse Than Death/Chris Riddell by Isobel

This book is all about Ada Goth and her fight against 'The Grocers of the Night'-vampires who want to drink the blood of the best chefs in England, who all happen to be gathered at Ghastly Gorm Hall (where Ada lives) for the 'The Great Ghastly Bake-Off'. The chefs are;
William Flake and his cat Tyger-Tyger
The Hairy Hikers
Nigellina Sugarspoon
Gordon Ramsgate
Miss Mary Huckleberry
Hollyhead
Heston Harboil and his Muscovy Duck Pushkin.

Lucy Borgia, Ada's governess, gives Ada umbrella fencing lessons on the rooftops of Ghastly Gorm Hall. These come in useful at the end of the story.

This book is excellent. I recommend it for children who like spooky twists to their stories.
