In "Dying to Meet You," the first book in the 43 Old Cemetery Road series by Kate Klise, readers are introduced to Ignatius B. Grumply, a cranky author seeking inspiration in a rundown, haunted house. He rents a room in the eerie 43 Old Cemetery Road, where he reluctantly encounters the ghost of a young girl named Olive C. Spence, who needs his help to save her family’s home. Together, they embark on a humorous and heartwarming adventure filled with quirky characters, misunderstandings, and an uplifting message about friendship and finding one’s voice.
