4-643 Old Cemetery Road series.
Illustrated by
M. Sarah Klise.
In their fifth book, young Seymour and his collaborators/caretakers Grumply (alive) and Olive (a ghost) land a movie deal for their bestselling on-going serial ghost story, 43 Old Cemetery Road. But Tinseltown isn't all glitter--producer Moe Block Busters changes the script, and fame changes the writers. This mild mock-gothic tale is told through playful narrative devices: letters, newspaper extracts, and black-and-white illustrations.
