INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Klise, Kate

Over My Dead Body

(3) 4-6 43 Old Cemetery Road series. Illustrated by M. Sarah Klise. This sequel to Dying to Meet You begins with eleven-year-old Seymour Hope living happily with Ignatius B. Grumply (alive) and Olive C. Spence (a ghost). Their satisfactory arrangement changes abruptly when meddling Dick Tater butts in. As with the first book, the story's fun is in its narrative devices: letters, newspaper excerpts, legal transcripts, etc., all accompanied by unfussy black-and-white spot illustrations.
