Ghost Buddy: Zero to Hero

By Henry Winkler & Lin Oliver

Published by Scholastic
ISBN 9781407132280
RRP £5.99

You might know Henry Winkler best as ‘the Fonz’ but he is also now an established children’s author – not bad given that he has always struggled with writing because he is dyslexic.

This story about Billy Broccoli and his ‘ghost buddy’ is packed with action and boys, as well as girls, and reluctant readers, will enjoy it.

Billy Broccoli has never wanted his own personal ghost, but that is just what he gets when he accidentally ends up sharing a room with Porterhouse the Third (or the Hoove), a funny teenage ghost with attitude – and some big plans for Billy.

With the school bully on his tail, Billy needs all the help he can get!
