Gr 4–6—When author Ignatius P. Grumply first moved into the Spence Mansion, he came across two very unlikely writing collaborators: an abandoned preteen, Seymour Hope, and Olive, the ghostly former inhabitant of the house. In this outing, the death of Ignatius's uncle Ian sends Seymour and Olive to Scotland to check out the castle Seymour's just inherited. Meanwhile, Ignatius copes with an expensive missing tortoise and a visitor: the ghost of Uncle Ian. Told entirely through letters, instant messages, drawings, and other ephemera, this sweetly spooky romp will have reluctant readers and bookworms chuckling.
Seymour and his (ghost) "mom" Olive go to Scotland to claim his inheritance: a castle from Grumply's uncle Ian. Grumply never liked his uncle's incessant jokes, which only continue to plague him when Ian's ghost pays a visit. This seventh book continues the series' clever narrative format of letters, drawings, newspaper articles, and more; fans will enjoy this pun-filled trip across the Atlantic.
