Dying to Meet You by Kate and Sarah Klise

Short fun book, very punny! I love the names especially Olive C. Spence. Poor Seymour Hope is all alone in this mansion except for his friend Olive, but she is a ghost. Seymour doesn't care, he likes it there and doesn't care that his parents are in Europe for the summer. The house gets rented by a grumpy writer who wants peace and quiet so he can write his next ghost book. Ha! You are thinking, a perfect spot for Ignatius Grumply. But Mr. I.B. Grumply doesn't think so, a child (he doesn't like children), and a ghost — a very sassy ghost too, and a cat! Will he ever get his book written? Will the ghost ever quit bothering him? Author Kate Klise writes this Maud Hart Lovelace Nominee in her usual fashion with letters, newspaper articles and very nice drawings by Seymour.
