Bookroo's summary

In Ghastly, Illinois, Seymour's unconventional family faces eviction. Living with writer Ignatius and ghost Olive, Seymour must convince IMSPOOKY's Dick Tater that their home is complete. Can this unlikely trio outsmart the system and stay united?

From the publisher

The news from Ghastly, Illinois, is grave–and that’s something to laugh about!The International Movement for the Safety & Protection Of Our Kids & Youth (IMSPOOKY) dictates that Seymour cannot live in the mansion at 43 Old Cemetery Road “without the benefit of parents.” Ignatius B. Grumply tries to explain to Dick Tater, the head of IMSPOOKY, that he and Seymour are in a lovely living arrangement with the ghost of Olive C. Spence. Dick Tater is not convinced. But this clever trio can’t be broken up as easily as he imagines . . .
