This is my favorite Wishbone mystery book

When the entire staff of the Oakdale Chronicle catch the flu, Wanda asks Joe, Wishbone, and their friends Sam and David to help write the newspaper. They learn all about writing and printing with a little bit of learning about the newspaper. But when the statue that stands on top of the Chronicle goes missing, it's up to Joe and Wishbone to solve the case and bring the thief to justice. Will they be able to find out who did it before the newspaper is sent off to the press?
