#1 Hero to Zero

by Lin Oliver and Henry Winkler

Published 7 June 2012

Billy Broccoli is a boy with questions: about his new school, his new step-family ...his whole new life, in fact. Hoover Porterhouse (aka the Hoove) is a ghost with all the answers. When a trick of fate makes them roommates, Billy discovers that having a ghost around might not be so bad after all. The Hoove is funny and cool, a great baseball player, and is a real people person (even if Billy is the only one who can see him). And with obnoxious school bullies out to demolish him, Billy can use all of the advice he can get. With Hoover by his side, Billy just might get in style, get even, and conquer the school.

How to Scare the Pants Off Your Pets

by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver

Published 1 January 2013

Billy Broccoli is on a mission. If he can help the Hoove - his very
own personal ghost - learn to be responsible, Billy may finally
get his room to himself! And Billy has come up with the perfect
plan. He's going to get the Hoove a pet - one the Hoove won't be
able to resist caring for.

But the Hoove is not exactly an animal enthusiast. He thinks dogs
are dull and hamsters are cheesy. And all because he has his heart
set on a goat that would destroy everything. With all of these
pets on parade, Billy's room has become a zoo. He's got to turn
Hoover into a mother hen soon if he ever wants to get some peace
and quiet.
