Ghost brother by C. S. Adler. Clarion Books, 1990.
Wally's older brother, Jon-o, died while he was rescuing a drowning child. Wally is finding life difficult without Jon-o and often imagines Jon-o as a ghost, who offers Wally advice. Wally wants to be more like Jon-o, a daredevil, but he isn't as athletic or foolhardy. Wally tries to take Jon-o's place, but his mother reassures him he doesn't have to, and that Jon-o loved Wally for who he is. As Wally comes to terms with life without Jon-o, Jon-o's ghost disappears.
