Ghosts and Writers

It's been 20 years since Ignatius B. Grumply wrote his last book. As a children's writer of horror stories, Ignatius (who hates children) is in a bit of slump and needs a quiet place to finish (or rather, start) his book over the summer. What he doesn't bargain for is that the house isn't empty, but the home of an eleven-year-old boy named Seymour, his cat, oh, and a ghost named Olive.

Told through letters and drawings, Dying to Meet You (Book One in the 43 Old Cemetery Road series) by Kate Klise and M. Sarah Klise is fantastic! At around 150 pages, this slim book manages to combine mystery, dark humor and a dose of reality sure to be a hit with you and yours.
