Over My Dead Body by Kate Klise is a funny book about a ghost, an old writer, and a boy living in an old house. It is the sequel to Kate Klise’s book Dying to Meet You.
In Dying to Meet You all the characters meet each other and the boy (whose name is Seymour Hope) is abandoned by his parents. The old writer, (Ignatius B. Grumply) who at first doesn’t like him, then illegally adopts Seymour with the ghost Olive C. Spence. Then, together, all three of them write a spectacular book. People start to believe in Olive, and she and Ignatius and Seymour live happily together.
In Over My Dead Body Ignatius is sent to an asylum for the crazy, Seymour is sent to the orphanage, and Olive, who once was believed in, is now thought a hoax. They are all put in their current conditions by Dick Tater from the International Movement for the Safety and Protection Of Our Kids & Youth (IMSPOOKY) because he thinks that Seymour is not safe because he thinks Ignatius is crazy for talking to Olive, whom people start to not believe in.
I recommend this book because it is very funny and it is sort of a suspensive book because you don’t know until the end if Ignatius and Seymour escape the asylum and the orphanage and if they go back home. Over My Dead Body is a very good book.
