4-6Ghost Buddy series.
Billy gets his ghost friend Hoove a pet in hopes of improving Hoove's flunking grade in Responsibility--except Hoove is too scary for most critters. It's not until the family takes in a stray cat, and she has three kittens, that Hoove steps up. There's a lesson here, but it's nicely camouflaged by this third installment's humorous spirit and witty banter.
