This was such a fun easy read. It was so perfect when you just want to read a calm turning book and this book are one of a kind. It had me going and it was funny. Inside the book you'll see the amazing work of art and literature, the story was told by letters, drawings, and many more. I really enjoyed the characters, they were fun and fresh. I also enjoyed the plot and the setting, it was unique compared to most of the other books. I really had a fun time reading this and I hope to read more of these series.

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.

I really liked this book because it is hilarious and has a good resolution to the conflicts. I am waiting for the rest of the books to come to my public library. :)
I like other books in this series. I like how it seems like a scary book but it is not. It is interesting to read about ghosts!
I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! I say this is the most funniest book I have read. It is so funny and everyone should read it!!!!!!!
This book was a very interesting idea, the whole book was basically letters back and fourth to different characters in the book. Its a little hard to follow at times. Other than that I liked the book and thought it was a very entertaining way of writing, and I enjoyed the story line.
Dying To Meet You is a different kind of book but also a very interesting book. It is nothing you will expect. i recommend this book !
I thought this book was going to be one of those scary ghost stories. I was wrong! It is not scary at all! This book is about a boy who lives with a ghost. They communicate with letters. It is a funny book! I loved it!
I loved this book!!! It is a collection of notes passed between Seymour, Mr. Grumply and occasionally Olive. Mr. Grumply moves into an old mansion for the summer. He finds a young boy, Seymour already lives in the house with his cat Shadow. They have to learn to live together as a family.
This book was very funny. I liked the way this book was written. This book was written like a set of notes between Olive, Mr. Grumply, and Seymour. Mr. Grumply is an author who writes mystery books. He moves into the old mansion for the summer, and finds a boy named seymour already lives there, with his so called ghost. This is a very good book!
This is a awesome book that I loved. The people's personalities are a main point in the book. Like Iganatius B. Grumply sounds like he would be grumpy, but in the end he is really happy. The main message of the book is to never give up Hope! This is also a cute pun as one of the character's last name is Hope.
