Ghost Buddy Series Books 1 and 2

My son is not a good reader. Not that he can’t read, he doesn’t want to  read. I bribed him over the summer. I told him I would pay him $3 for every book he read. How many did he read? None!!  He did read some, but never finished the book.

Then I got an email to review Henry Winkler, the Fonz and Lin Oliver’s new book series Ghost Buddy, books 1 and 2. I accepted and hoped Hunter would like these. These look like a great kid book and they looked like an easy read.

He started out on his own with Ghost Buddy: Zero to Hero and said it wasn”t interesting. So I decided to either read it to him or have him read it out loud to me. We did this every night until he finished. And you know what? He liked it! (and he got $3)

Ghost Buddy, book 1, is about a young boy, Billy Broccoli and the ghost that lives in his room. Billy and his blended family move into  their new home and Billy finds out that Hoover, the ghost, used to live there too, a hundred years ago! Billy has some trouble with the neighbor boy, Rod, who is a bully. But Hoover helps Billy get Rod back and gain some more confidence.

We have not started the second book, Ghost Buddy #2 Mind if I Read Your Mind?. School started and book reports have already begun! He is using Ghost Buddy for his first report!! These are fun books books that anyone would enjoy. I can’t wait to hear what new adventures Billy and Hoover come up with next!

Here’s a little snippet about the book:

It’s time for Moorepark Middle School’s annual Speak Out Challenge, and Billy Broccoli thinks he’s got it made. With his best friend Hoover Porterhouse—the ghost with the most—by his side, Billy’s got the competition in the bag. Who wouldn’t vote for a demonstration on mind reading?
