I hope however that I would rate the rest of this on-going series as better. It suffers a little by being too much a fan of baseball, and while ''math'' has been edited to ''maths'' it does come across as very American. And despite being peppered with subtly-drawn life lessons - for Billy and for The Hoove - the ending, without giving too much away, is clunky and lame, and I would defy anyone to find a child who would actually agree with it.
Before then it's all jovial, well-intentioned, yet satisfyingly entertaining stuff. It's old-school sensibilities - fairness, friendship, patience and loyalty - taught with a new-school style. The TV version playing in my head as I read this was engaging, and full of fun effects, and I'm sure this makes a good series of books - but here's too much that makes this one a below-par entrant in it.
I must thank the publishers for my review copy. We also have a review of [[How To Scare The Pants Off Your Pets (Ghost Buddy) by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver]].
The series started [[Zero to Hero - Ghost Buddy by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver|here]].
