About this listen

A hilarious new series from Henry Winkler & Lin Oliver, authors of the best-selling HANK ZIPZER books!

Billy Broccoli is new to the neighborhood, and wants cool friends and a spot on the baseball team more than anything. But the one thing he never wanted is his own personal ghost. So imagine his surprise when he ends up sharing a room with Hoover Porterhouse, a funny ghost with a whole lot of attitude. When an obnoxious school bully sets out to demolish Billy, the Hoove comes up with a plan for revenge. It’s all in the Hoove’s Rule Number Forty-Two: Stay cool. And like it or not, Billy and the Hoove have to stick together if Billy ever wants to get in style, get even, and conquer the school.

Editor reviews

Turns out sharing your room with a friendly ghost has its benefits for Billy Broccoli. For one, now he has a plan for dealing with that awful schoolyard bully.… The authors of the Hank Zipzer series bring this new phantasmic world to the stage. One of the authors himself performs this audiobook, with a special verve for Billy's story. Harry Winkler creates the most delightful characters that will get young listeners giggling. Meanwhile, his deliberate pacing makes for engaging listening while upbeat music starts the peppy tone off right.

Billy needs something going in the fun department.

Pre-teen meats Fonzie Ghost! Superb!
