The Loch Ness Punster 43 Old Cemetery Road Kate Klise M Sarah Klise 9780544313378 Books Reviews

This is not an ordinary storybook because it tells a story through letters, newspaper clippings, text messages, and even blue prints. Macon Deals wants to put a Loch Vegas where Grumply Castle is located to attract tourists back to Loch Ness, Scotland. More tourists would mean more people, and more money for the town. It would also mean an honorary knighthood for Macon Deals. But Seymore Grumply owns the castle and does not want to sell the house. (In real life, Grumply Caslte is called Urquart Castle.)

The names of the characters are funny. Macon Deals is the bad guy in the book and he loves money. Seymore is the hero of the story. His grandfather is Ignatius B Grumply and his friend is a ghost, Olive. His pet tortoise is Mr. Poe. Other characters include Gareen Teed an insurance salesman, Carrie N. Haggis a restaurant owner, and Bea Prawpa the secretary to Buckingham Palace.

My favorite parts of the book are the names of the characters, the funny humor, and the illustration of Nessie. Do you think the Loch Ness Monster exists? Do you think Seymore will sell the Castle to Macon Deals? Read the book and you’ll find out.

The beginning of the book is a little boring, but it got funnier and more exciting. It also took me a while to get used to the format. I give it 4 STARS! I recommend this to kids who have visited Scotland, like the Loch Ness Monster, and other types of mysteries.
This reader had not previously seen the 43 Old Cemetery Road books, and found it to be an unexpected delight.

Punny and witty, the names of characters are silly (Carrie N. Haggis - restaurant manager, Gareen Teed - insurance salesman, etc), and kids will find them funny. It's the story of Seymour, who is a young boy being brought up by Iggy (Ignatius Grumply) and Olive Spence (a ghost and ghost writer). He ends up inheriting a castle right on Loch Ness, and a shady dealer wants to purchase it for a steal.

It's an interesting way to tell the story Olive and Ian (Iggy's recently deceased uncle who left the castle to Seymour) are both ghosts, and they have a specific font so it's really easy to tell which character is talking. It does wrap up several story lines from earlier books, so the backstory for that is missing here, but it doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the existing story. The storyline unfolds mostly through newspapers, clippings, airline tickets, and letters, although there are also some conversations.

Overall, this book is likely a hit with kids 8-12.
Having absolutely loved the first six books in the 43 Old Cemetery Road series Dying to Meet You,Over My Dead Body,Till Death Do Us Bark,The Phantom of the Post Office,Hollywood, Dead Ahead, and Greetings from the Graveyard , I had little doubt I would love this one, and I was not disappointed.

As our story opens, the writing team (and family) of I. B. Grumply, Olive C. Spence, and Seymour Hope, residing in the old Spence Mansion at 43 Cemetery Road, Ghastly, IL, receives a telegram informing them that Seymour has inherited a castle on the shores of Loch Ness from his great uncle, Dr. Ian Grumply, world-famous psychiatrist and world's WORST punster (and in this series that is saying something!) At the very least it seems like a perfect summer vacation for the three of them, but Ignatius refuses to go. It seems he spent many youthful summers there, hated every minute of it, refuses to talk about it, and absolutely refuses to go there now.

So a sorrowful Seymour and a mightily ticked-off Olive head for Loch Ness, where they run afoul of the schemes of would-be "Loch Vegas" developer Macon Deals, neither the first, the last, nor the worst of the soul crushing puns contained herein, leaving Ignatius behind in Ghastly, IL, "to write", something he finds increasingly difficult to do in the chaotic aftermath of chief librarian M. Balm's disastrous Borrow-A-Pet program. Between Seymour's borrowing and subsequent smuggling into Scotland of a pet that turns out to be worth $10,000.00; Ignatius' repeated failed attempts to obtain pet insurance on said pet from an apparently illiterate insurance salesman, Garren Teed; and the arrival of his uncle's ghost determined to help Ignatius with his "problem", Ignatius is accomplishing nothing,...

unless you count beginning to work yourself into having a coronary as accomplishing something.

However, just as it's always darkest before it goes pitch black,... I mean, just as it's always darkest before the dawn, things begin to turn. Ignatius finally confronts the root of his grumpiness problem (hint it isn't really the name), tries something new, and saves the day!

As I've mentioned in previous reviews, there have been occasional indications that the Sisters Kline might be starting to run out of ideas. Well, it looks like they agree because this book is being described as the last one. Like most readers I'll be sad to see this series go, but the Klines do not write themselves into any corners here. Should they ever in the future feel their muses sufficiently rejuvenated (and re-punned), they could start right up again.

Here's hoping that they do!
Even though my grandson is on the older end of the recommended 9 to 12 years old level, he enjoyed this book for its silliness and for the `challenge' of figuring out the puns, jokes and double meanings to names and places. A business man is called Macon Deals and so it goes with everyone and everything.

The book is written with lots of illustrations, messages in letter form or message types and even newspaper pages. The only problem is that at some points the print does become very small. It was nice to see letters used instead of the ubiquitous technology.

Even if you haven't read the other books in the series, this can be understood right away. There are no secrets and everyone and events are explained.
This is a good book for either reading out loud to a child or for anyone older (even much older) to read).
My 10 year daughter enjoys this series.
Love this series. Kate Klise is a wonderful writer with a lovely age appropriate wit!
Love this series!
