From Booklist:
Hoover Porterhouse III might be the ghost with the most, but he never learns his lesson. At the start of the third installment in the Ghost Buddy series, the Hoove is once again in trouble with the Higher-Ups and has been confined to the boundaries of Billy’s house until he learns some responsibility. What better way to learn responsibility than to take care of a pet? Billy is still the imposed-upon member of this human-spirit friendship, and his willingness to help the Hoove seems as much about self-preservation as concern for the ghost. Hopefully, Hoover will start to mature as the series moves forward (hey—he’s had 99 years!) Grades 3-6. --Kara Dean
