4-6Ghost Buddy series.
Billy Broccoli's new house is inhabited by teenage ghost Hoover Porterhouse. Hoove helps Billy navigate a new school and defeat a nasty bully (Zero); second installment Mind finds Billy, with Hoove's help, convincing classmates that he's a mind-reader, but Billy opts for a less impressive (honest) feat in a competition. Billy and Hoove's snarky repartee make these books' lessons go down easy. Review covers these Ghost Buddy titles: Mind if I Read Your Mind? and Zero to Hero.
