Billy Broccoli is a boy with questions: about his new school, his new step-family... his new life, in fact. Hoover Portherhouse (aka the Hoove) is a ghost with all the answers.
When a trick of fate makes them roommates, Billy discovers that having a ghost around might not be so bad after all. The Hoove is funny and cool, a great baseball player and a real people person (even if Billy is the only one who can see him).
And when the obnoxious school bullies are out to demolish him, Billy can use all of the advice he can get. With the Hoove by his side, Billy might get in style, get even and conquer the school.

Billy Broccoli is new to the neighborhood, and wants cool friends and a spot on the baseball team more than anything. But the one thing he never wanted is his own personal ghost. So imagine his surprise when he ends up sharing a room with Hoover Porterhouse, a funny ghost with a whole lot of attitude.
This could be a match made in Heaven because, while Billy is dealing with a lot of uncertainty about his new life, Hoover Portherhouse (aka the Hoove) is a ghost with all the answers. Billy soon discovers that having a ghost around might not be so bad after all. The Hoove is funny and cool, a great baseball player and a real people person (even if Billy is the only one who can see him).
