2010-2011 Texas Bluebonnet Award

Klise, Kate, & Klise, M. (2009). Dying to meet you. Harcourt Children.


This story is told through letters and documents from and author named I.B. Grumply. He has had a writer’s block for 20 years. In his quest to get over this, he moves to a haunted mansion to finish this story. Once he gets to this scary house, other characters are introduced to complicate matters for Grumply even more. Their names are very cleaver, like the publisher (Paige Turner), the realtor (Anita Sale), and the mischievous ghost (Olive C Spence). Communication between them all is through letters and they even decide to make a book together.

This book was hysterical! I just loved the funny character names, drawings, and the book format. This book would appeal to most any age. Even younger ones who can’t read yet, will laugh out loud at the illustrations in the book.
