Another hilarious adventure for Billy and the Hoove from bestselling authors Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver!
Billy Broccoli is used to getting expert advice--wanted or not--from the ghost with the most, Hoover Porterhouse! The Hoove has smooth moves and a silver tongue...and he isn't shy about sharing his words of wisdom!

-- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
"Readers will root for Billy to conquer his klutziness as well as the bully; his final feel-good triumph is satisfying."
-- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"The story will amuse young readers, reluctant readers, and high-interest, low reading ability older readers, particularly boys."
