About the Book (from Goodreads):  

Enter at your own risk: You might just DIE laughing.

The best-selling author Ignatius B. Grumply moves into the Victorian mansion at 43 Old Cemetery Road, hoping to find some peace and quiet so that he can crack a wicked case of writer's block.

But 43 Old Cemetery Road is already occupied--by an eleven-year-old boy named Seymour, his cat, Shadow, and an irritable ghost named Olive.

And they have no intention of sharing!

Why I Read this Book: I saw this at my local Goodwill and thought that it would be wonderful for Dewey's Readathon that I participated in last week.

 

Review

This book was pun-y!  Dying to Meet You is written in the form of letters and newspaper articles.  It contains incredibly cute illustrations.  This book would be perfect for anyone wanting a fun read that makes you laugh out loud.  It is a perfect read for Halloween.  It teaches you the importance of being nice and helping others.  I hope that I can read the rest of the series very soon!
