Dying to Meet YouDying to Meet You
In this story told mostly through letters, children's book author I. B. Grumply gets more than he bargained for when he rents a quiet place to write for the summer.
Moving into an old mansion in the hopes of finding the peace he needs to do his writing, Ignatius B. Grumpy gets a great surprise when he encounters its residents, 11-year-old Seymour, his cat, and a grouchy ghost, waiting to greet him upon his arrival and eager to give advice.
Ignatius B. Grumply moves into the Victorian mansion at 43 Old Cemetery Road hoping to find some peace and quiet so he can crack a wicked case of writer&;s block. But 43 Old Cemetery Road is already occupied by eleven-year-old Seymour, his cat Shadow, and an irritable ghost named Olive. It&;s hard to say who is more outraged. But a grumpy old ghost just might inspire this grumpy old man&;and the abandoned kid? Well, let's just say his last name's Hope.
Sisters Kate and M. Sarah Klise, the creators of the award-winning Regarding the . . . series, offer up this volume in a clever epistolary series told in letters, drawings, newspaper articles, a work-in-progress manuscript, and even an occasional tombstone engraving.
