Dying to Meet You: 43 Cemetery Road, Book 1 by Kate Klise



Ghost writer, Ignatius B. Grumply rents 43 Old Cemetery Road in Ghastly, Illinois, hoping to find some peace and quiet so he can break his writer's block. But the three-story, run-down, Victorian house is already occupied by eleven-year-old Seymour, his cat Shadow, and an irritable ghost named Olive.

    I really liked how Olive C Spence would help Grumply write his book. It was fun that all the names in the book meant something scary. It was really sweet that Grumply became friends with Seymour.

    A writer named Ignatius B. Grumply rented a haunted house to finish writing his book what he thought was a nice quiet home turns out to be a very distracting home.With another writer in there but never had her books published and trys to get Grumplys story not published too.

    I really liked in the book how Grumpy goes to the haunted mansion to get rid of kids but ends up being best friends with one he finds upstairs.

    ****Now you should read this book!It's when a author buys an old house. Only a a kid and a ghost live in it. He also responsible for the kid too. Oh boy was he mad. Just when you think it can't get worse... CRASH! The ghost drops a glass chandelier on him. What happens next well you have to find out for yourself by reading the book.
