43 Old Cemetery Road: Dying to Meet You

The story cleverly unfolds as you turn each page to read either a letter, document, newspaper article, etc. All of the aforementioned were written over the course of one summer relating to quite unusual events which occurred in a large old house located at 43 Old Cemetary Road.  A popular author, Ignatius B. Grumply, moves into the Victorian mansion to find some peace and quiet to help him break out of his writer’s block.  Unfortunately, for him, there are already three others living there…an eleven year old boy, his cat and a cranky ghost named Olive.  Skillful readers will find their brain getting stretched and teased trying to follow the humorous antics of these colorful character’s through the letters they write to each other, plus the various newspaper articles, and delightful drawings peppered throughtout.  Exquisite character development made it a gem of a read.  Will my patrons be dying to meet a new style of storytelling?  Will they chuckle at the sophisticated humor, as I did?  We will see!
