"43 Old Cemetary Road Dying to Meet You," by Kate Klise

RATING:  Thumbs Up!

REVIEW:  

     I thoroughly ENJOYED reading this book!  I couldn't believe how fast I read it.  The story is written in the form of letters to various characters in the story.  The illustrations are simple but captivating.  It is about an author, Ignatius B. Grumply, who is pretty much done with writing.  He just can't seem to write the next book in his "Ghost Tamer" series.  So he moves into an old house hoping for some solitude and inspiration.  He is inspired but is not alone.  He finds out that a young boy named Seymore and his cat are living there too!  Not to mention a ghost by the name of Olive.  It takes a while for all of them to get along.  But in the end they realize just how much they need each other.  Seymore gets the house he has always wanted. Mr. Gumply finally gets his writing juice back and Olive gets published!  I can't wait to read the second book in the series.
