Dying to Meet You by Kate Klise, illustrated by M. Sarah Klise



Questions:
1. Why do the characters have such funny sounding names in this punny book? Choose one character's name and comment on why his/her name fits him/her perfectly.

2. If you could create a punny name for yourself, what would it be? What would it mean?

3. Did you like the epistolary style of writing or letters written between one character and another as the narration of the story? Why or why not?

Next in the series!

  6. I think that the names express what the person is really about. Seymour Hope probably needs to have more hope!!!
    My name could be... ???
    Yes! I do like it because it makes the book seem more real and fun!

  7. Oliva the ghost fits her name perfectly because that is another ghosts name in a book
    I think it would be shelly because I am so shy
    yes, because that is very different so other books don't have it

  8. I think they have funny names to describe them in the best way and you know about them just through their names. Like Paige Turner is a publisher and and she has to turn pages and see if it's 'good enough'
    i think my name would be... ummm...Not sure.
    I love how the characters write letters to each other and it's easy to understand because of the different fonts and it adds a lot of humor. Awesome book!!!!
