Review
Greetings from the Graveyard is the sixth book in the epistolary series, 43 Old Cemetery Road by Kate Klise. Readers will find humor in the fantasy story of Seymour, his adopted father Ignatius B. Grumply and Olive, the ghost that lives in their home. Author, Iggy Grumply, has his hands full when a woman from his past threatens to reveal embarrassing love letters unless he marries her or gives her money. Olive is busy with the greeting card company she has started. So, it’s no surprise that young Seymour is the only one suspicious of a mysterious couple who moves into town at the same time businesses and homes are robbed. Upper elementary readers will be amused by the characters, witty names, clever greeting cards and the entertaining story told through letters, text messages, and newspaper articles. Readers who have not read previous books in the series will still be able to follow the story in Greetings from the Graveyard. A good addition to a juvenile fiction collection.
