What an awesome book! The story is primarily told through letters between Ignatius Grumply, Seymour, Olive, Ignatius’ lawyer, real estate agent, book agent and a private investigator. The letters, down to the sign offs and signatures, do an incredible job conveying the personalities of each chara...
InhaltUm endlich sein nächstes Kinderbuch zu beenden mietet der Autor Ignaz B. Griesgram ein einsam gelegenes Haus an. Eigentlich wollte er so weit wie möglich entfernt von Kindern sein, denn obgleich er Kinderbücher schreibt ist er alles andere als ein Kinderfreund. Allerdings lebt in dem angemi...
This is a cute little ghost story written in epistolary format about an old, washed-up author trying to get inspiration for his latest book in an old haunted Victorian mansion. I particularly enjoyed the little illustrations and the puns in the characters' names. I'd recommend it for second-four...
Cute, cute, cute! These are the kinds of children's books I love - ones that lure little minds in with pretty pictures and then capture them inside a charming (if a bit morbid - not unlike this sentence) story. I can tell that this is from the Lemony Snicket family, but the Klise sisters definit...
Eleven-year old Seymour Hope has been abandoned by his parents and lives with the man who is renting the house--Ignatius B. Grumply--and the ghost of the woman who lived in the house originally--Olive C. Spence. They are writing and publishing a ghost story that everyone loves. However, Dick Ta...
A new character comes to 43 Old Cemetery Road, Dick Tater. He is the Director of IMSPOOKY (International Movement for the Safety & Protection of Our Kids & Youth) and he wants to cancel Halloween, burn any books that include ghost stories, and "protect" Seymour from the crazy old man (Iggy) who t...
I enjoyed reading this book at first. Klise wrote this book in four POVs and that what makes the book attractive. I like the conflict and the undercover communication between two characters, how the story goes and the feeling I get so I didn't easily put this book off to take break. But for me, t...
I really enjoyed this book. There are four characters in the story and each chapter alternates between their viewpoint of the events that unfold. Despite the changing points of view, it was very easy to keep track of what was happening in the story.The end did feel really rushed; I wish the autho...
Love it! Pakai POV org 1 jamak. Perpindahan yg lincah. Dan hal yg gue suka dr POV1 adalah kita jd bisa tahu apa yg ada di pikiran tokoh lainnya, dan sering kalinya itu sama sekali berbeda dgn yg dikira tokoh satunya! Ada banyak hal yg kocak, spt saat Andrew--si ayah, mengira Webb--anaknya, sembel...
Du coté de l’histoire:C'est avec une erreur de valises que commence l’histoire entre la famille Sprinkle et la famille Nelson. Lors de son arrivée à Madrid, Webb en vacances avec son père, se rend compte que la valise qu'il a entre les mains n'est malheureusement pas la sienne. Pendant ce temps...

Buch in der Reihe+ sehr schöne Geschichte, wunderbar illustriert+ endlich eine gleichaltrige Freundin für Severin+ hat mir wieder sehr gut gefallen+ the 4th book in the series+ beautiful story, wonderful illustrations (as usual)+ finally a friend for Seymour+ I e...
The unique family at 43 Old Cemetery Road is back again, & this time, at least some of them are on a mission to show a new generation just how much fun a friendship based on letter writing can be. Although I suspect that at least one of the Klise sisters has a tween begging for a cell phone somew...

Vorab: es handelt sich um Band 5 der Serie um die Friedhofstraße 43. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Schrifsteller Ignaz B. Griesgram, die Geisterdame Oliva C. Spence und ihr Adoptivsohn und Illustrator Severin Hoffnung. Die ganze Geschichte mit dem Schriftstellertum versteht man wahrscheinlich besser, ...
I love this series! In this book, the trio heads to Hollywood where their book, 43 Old Cemetery Road, is being made into a movie. Shooting a movie doesn't turn out to be nearly as fun as it sounds though. After all the legal paperwork the movie doesn't read anything like the books and all the sty...
