Dying to Meet You
by Kate Klise

Although his parents have abandoned him, Seymour is happy. He lives in an old Victorian mansion with his cat and a ghost that he can only see when she allows him to. He is trying to earn enough money to buy the house from his parents when the house is unexpectedly rented out for the summer by a "has-been" author trying to overcome writer's block. At first, Seymour isn't worried because he has successfully scared away all potential buyers. Until now. Will he scare away the author? Can Olive, the ghost, help?

If you like funny ghost stories, this is the perfect book for you! I enjoyed the format of letters and news clippings format that gave this story life. I think young readers will like this fast-paced book and look forward to the next in the series. I'd better add the second book to my purchase list right now!
