Sisters Kate and M. Sarah Klise (creators of the “Regarding the…” series) launched their lively “43 Old Cemetery Road” series in 2009 with Dying to Meet You, the story of a churlish, child-hating, 64-year-old children’s book author Ignatius B. Grumply who rents an old Victorian mansion in Ghastly, Illinois for the summer… only to find it already inhabited. Enter 11-year-old Seymour Hope and the vivacious, “old as dirt” writer-ghost Olive C. Spence. The ensuing tale of unlikely roommates is cleverly, seamlessly told in letters, newspaper articles, Grumply’s work-in-progress “Ghost Tamer” manuscript, and winning illustrations by M. Sarah Klise. Alternately poignant and side-splittingly funny—and full of writing and publishing jokes—this charming title was nominated for nine state book awards and named a Junior Library Guild selection. KATE KLISE and M. SARAH KLISE?have collaborated on several picture books and a number of popular middle grade novels, including Trial by Journal and Letters from Camp, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults. Kate, who is a correspondent for People magazine, lives in Norwood, Missouri. Sarah, who is an art teacher, lives in Berkeley, California.
