This was a super-quick and laughable read for young readers. The basic format of the book is set up into letters, newspaper articles, and pictures with captions. You can tell from the beginning that it is going to be a humorous read just by meeting the characters: Olive C. Spence, Seymour Hope, and I.B. Grumply. A children's author, Grumply, moves into a Victorian mansion to overcome a twenty year writer's block in order to complete his "Ghost Tamer" series. He finds out that the mansion is already occupied with a boy name Seymour and his cat, as well as a ghost of long ago deceased writer, Olive. She has vowed to haunt the house until one of her mysteries is published. The three main characters form a tight niche relationship and produce a book through collaboration. This sequel is next on my list!
