Ignatius B

• Ignatius B. Grumply is a children’s ghost story writer with writer’s block. He decided to move into Spence Mansion for a change of scenery to help him finish his next book. Have you ever had a problem finishing something? What did you do, or what could you have done to help you complete your daunting task? • After Ignatius and Seymour learn that they are stuck with each other for the summer, they come up with a list of house rules. Write ten rules you would want enforced if you were Seymour. • Why couldn’t Seymour’s parents see Olive? • Seymour’s parents put their careers first, and abandoned him. What would you have done if you were in Seymour’s shoes? Do you think he is better off without them? What are the advantages and disadvantages of Seymour’s unusual living situation?

• Olive claims that “we’re all characters in our own stories.” This is true for Ignatius, Olive, and Seymour, and helped them to finally write and illustrate a bestselling ghost story. Why does this work for them? Do you think any of the three would have been able to become a bestselling author without the others? Why or why not? • How do all three characters help one another grow and become better people (or a better ghost, in Olive’s case)? • Design a real estate flyer for your ideal writing retreat. Be sure to include a picture, a short description, and a list of all the amenities (practical and supernatural). • Write a ghost story containing the three most important things that Olive believes a good story needs—setup, complications, and conflict. Be sure to create interesting characters and draw on experiences from your own life too. • Write a newspaper article for the Ghastly Times about a haunted house in your neighborhood. Name the ghost, tell his or her backstory, describe the ghost’s actions, give quotes from witnesses, and offer rebuttals from people who don’t believe in ghosts. Include an illustration of the ghost causing mischief. • Draw a map of a fictious graveyard containing the graves of deceased famous people you admire. Make each grave include the dates each person lived and an epitaph.

• Seymour’s unusual living situation has caught up to him. Do you think Dick Tater was right to remove Seymour from Spence Mansion? Why or why not? • Seymour’s absentee parents were working on a book called Only Fools and Children Believe in Ghosts. Which characters do you think are the real fools in this book? Why? • Dick Tater wanted to ban every ghost story ever written. Do you think this was a good idea? Why or why not? Do you think there is a time when people in authority should tell people what they can or cannot read? • Many of the adults in Over My Dead Body don’t believe that Olive C. Spence is a real ghost. Why do you think they aren’t willing to believe in her? What happens after Olive proves that she is real? Do you think it was a good thing for the people of Ghastly to know there is ghost in their town? Why or why not?

• Olive could not remember where she left her manuscripts. She finally found them in her coffin. Why do you think they were buried with her? • Spence Mansion is far from a traditional home. Do you think it is a good home? Why or why not? In your opinion, what makes a home a home? • Create an acronym like IMSPOOKY for an organization that you would like to be the president of someday. Then create a brochure explaining what the organization does and its mission statement. Add some pictures to show its members in action. • While in the home for the deranged, Ignatius came up with a way to communicate with his neighbor, in which “One knock equals ‘a,’ two knocks equal ‘b,’ and so forth.” Then he adapted the knocks to numbers, and used it in his letters. Write a letter to a friend using only Ignatius’s secret code. • Pretend you are taken away from your home and mistakenly thrown into an orphanage. Write a letter to your family describing what the orphanage is like, how the other orphans and adults act, what type of food they serve, daily routines and activities, and a plan for your escape. • Develop an advertisement for a bookmobile. Include a list of books that are available, why people should visit the bookmobile, and its schedule. Draw a picture for your ad as well.

Noah Breth • Seymour is fed up with writing letters all the time. But Olive feels that it is important to keep letter-writing alive and insists that he keep on writing them. Has there ever been a time when a parent or guardian made you do something that you didn’t want to do? How did it make you feel? What did you do?

• Noah Breth was very upset that his children, Kitty and Kanine, could never get along. Do you think Kitty and Kanine deserved Noah’s money? How would their relationship be different if Noah had just split his money between them in his will the way they wanted him to? • Do you agree with Noah’s decision to put all of his money in coins and have the town search for them? How did this bring the town together? How did it extend Noah’s legacy? • How did Noah Breth and Shadow bring Olive, Ignatius, and Seymour closer together? • Write a limerick about your family. Remember to follow the AABBA rhyme scheme—and be as silly as possible. • Pretend you are Kitty or Kanine. Write a speech about Noah to deliver at his funeral. Talk about how he affected your life, why you are a changed person, and what lessons you learned from how he lived his life.

• Do you think that it is ever okay to keep a secret from your parents or guardian? If so, what are the circumstances?

• Create a flyer for a missing pet. Write a description of this pet, mention the last place and time you saw it, and describe the reward you would give to the person who finds it. Make sure to include your contact information (make up a silly name, phone number, and e-mail address) and a picture.

• Seymour wants to keep Secret so much that he lies to Olive and Ignatius. These lies add up and eventually lead Seymour to run away. Could this mess have been avoided? If so, how?

• Write a postcard from Olive to Noah explaining how being a ghost is different from being a human.

Dreadfully enchanting discussion questions • The 43 Old Cemetery Road books are not written like traditional books. The stories are told through a series of correspondences, such as letters, newspaper articles, transcripts, and even text messages. Does this style work for these books? As a reader, what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of reading only what the characters write one another, as opposed to traditional dialogue and narration? • Why do you think Olive loves letter-writing so much? Do you think that the art of letter-writing is dying? • How would you react if you had to constantly communicate through letters? How would this affect your daily life? Do you think you would like it? • How does each member of the unconventional family living in Spence Mansion grow and change from when Ignatius first moved to when they are all living together as a family? What does each family member add to the family?

than if Olive had been a famous author when she was living? What do you think would have happened if Weston Peece had delivered the letter from the publisher that wanted to publish her manuscripts? Would Olive’s life (as both a human and a ghost) have been different? If so, how?

appallingly captivating series activities • Write a chapter of a 43 Old Cemetery Road book. Make yourself a character in your story. Describe under what circumstances you arrived in Ghastly, and how you met Olive, Ignatius, and Seymour, and create some conflict that you help settle. • Design a stamp commemorating the success of 43 Old Cemetery Road. You can choose to illustrate your favorite scene from one of the books, or come up with an award you’d like to bestow upon the novel. • Names of characters in 43 Old Cemetery Road often describe something about each character’s personality (they are very comical, too). Come up with names for at least five of your family members and friends that describe their unique characteristics or interests. Depending on the person, they can be humorous or serious. • Olive, Ignatius, and Seymour love words. Create a list of words that you feel describe the 43 Old Cemetery Road books. Then, using a dictionary, define each word. • On the following page, write a fan letter to your favorite character from 43 Old Cemetery Road.

Be sure to design your own letterhead and decorate your letter with a picture.

• Through death, the almost-dying written word, and the help of two humans, Olive sees her dreams of becoming an author come true. Is this better or worse Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books for Young Readers • www.hmhbooks.com
