Every summer our family likes to try to read even more than we do during the school year.
We are open to just about any type of book and enjoy many of them.
After spending twenty years as a classroom teacher, I am always in search of some quality print to share with the kids. When I heard about "Ghost Buddy #2 Mind If I Read Your Mind?", I could not have been more excited. I had to read it myself along with my children.
I have been a long time fan of both Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver, so I knew this had to be a win!
I am happy to say that I was right with this one.
Although the book is geared for 8+, my almost six year old enjoyed hearing me read the story out loud.
Without giving away too much of the story,
let me share just a little bit about it.
Ghost Buddy #2 Mind If I Read Your Mind? Is number two in the series. It follows book one: Ghost Buddy Zero To Hero. In Book one where Billy Broccoli first meets up with Hoover Porterhouse, his new Ghost friend! The Hoove helps Billy to deal with his new school and new life. He even comes up with a plan to help Billy overcome the bully he encounters.
In book #2, Billy Broccoli has a best friend who also happens to be imaginary..and a ghost... Hoover Porterhouse. Billy and the Hoove are close as can be until Billy joins his school's Speak Out Challenge. Billy decides he can have the competition in the bag with the help of Hoover. I mean, what better way to read someones mind than to have an invisible friend helping you out? Billy demonstrates his talent reading people's minds and is so good everyone thinks he should get his own show! Even his teacher, Mr. Wallwetter has no explanation for Billy's secret mind reading skills!
But when Billy decides to devote more and more time to hanging out with his new friends and Hoover has to take a back seat, he is not a happy chap anymore and plans his own way to get even with Billy!
The rest I will leave up to enjoy!
We had so much fun reading this book at home and in the park.
It's a very fast read and filled with fun!
Your son or daughter will love this book. If you are a teacher, definitely check this book out for your class! They will thank you for it!
Pure FUN!

Note: Teacher Friends-Definitely check this book out and recommend it to your students! One reason I would recommend this book is because it opened up a line of chat with my own children about school and ways to handle different and difficult situations. Every year when school starts we discuss ways to handle meeting new students and how to believe in yourself. I think this book gives children a sense of self-confidence that is important in every aspect of life.
Secondly, I heard my younger daughter quoting the book to my older son. They were discussing the book and she was retelling all of the parts she found hilarious! Any book that gets my children carrying on a dialogue about the content is a book that as a teacher I would give an A+.
