A children's book for adults

I just finished reading an incredibly fun book called "43 Old Cemetery Road: Over my Dead Body" by Kate Klise and illustrated by M. Sarah Klise. It's partially a graphic novel, partly a straight reading novel, but all fun. It is so tongue-in-cheek hilarious, I couldn't put it down. The story basically concerns an eleven-year-old boy,Seymour Hope, a 62 year-old-man, Ignatius B. Grumply, and a ghost, Olive B. Spense. They are thrown together and have to fight city hall to continue to stay together as a family. The evil Dick Tater (who looks an awful lot like Hitler), head of IMSPOOKY, wants to do everything he can to split them apart. The book touches on serious issues with a sense of humor that doesn't fail to get the point across.

Kids will love love it because of the quirky, fun story. Adults will love the Big Brother satire - and because it's a quirky, fun story. At 116 pages, it's a quick, fun read that will appeal to anyone who loves books, hates book burning and censorship, and believes in hope for the future.

I highly recommend the book to anyone and everyone, especially if you love ghost stories, libraries, and the freedom to read what you want.
