Thorne Smith wrote whimsical fantasies.  Even if you haven't read any of
them, you've probably seen them in the movies or on TV.  There's "Topper",
two novels about ghosts & a meek banker that turned into three movies
and a TV series, "The Passionate Witch" about life with a beautiful witch
witch was filmed as "I Married a Witch" starring Veronica Lake (sigh),
"Turnabout" with a husband and wife who wake up in the other's bodies
(filmed in 1940).  I've never read any of his books, but I've enjoyed 
the films.

[YA] == The book is for young adults (however you define them).
[O] == Omnibus.  Includes other books.
