More whodunit fun with everyone's favorite literature-loving Jack Russell terrier.

This story was okay and enjoyable but the subplot was a romance story for Wishbone that didn't feel necessary to me.

Someone's making a movie about the early days of Oakdale, and Wishbone gets a part! Of course, someone is trying to sabotage the film, and if he wants to see himself on screen, Wishbone has find out who is behind it.

Good for kids.

This continues to be a great series for kids/middle grade. I love that it introduces classic mystery books as well. This is up there with the Classics series.

Fun times down nostalgia lane. There was only one Wishbone book left at the store and of course it is fittingly the film related one!

[Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great Wishbone mystery. This time Joe has a part in a small independent film about Oakdale and of course a mystery presents itself when things start going missing on set. Wishbone puts his nose to the ground and helps Joe solve the case in his classic style.

I enjoyed reading this book as much as I enjoyed watching the show. Wishbone books always make me want to rewatch the episodes in order to rediscover the classics and my love of literature. This is yet another Wishbone book that I will keep on my bookshelf.

I learned that you need to tell your friends when you have a problem. In this book, the bad person should of told his brother about his problem. Auryn 12 years old, 2015
