Wishbone books are usually great, but, this one was excellent. A fun whodunit with a convoluted plot and a surprising twist at the end; this one is definitely worth reading for fans of the bookish Jack Russell terrier.

These mystery series books usually relate to an existing book and the story parallels with that book.

My favorite part was when they discovered the actual person who stole the trophy, and why they did it. My least favorite part was when Damont wasn't quite playing fair when they played basketball,a dn made Timmy so mad that he framed him for stealing his granfather's trophy, which wasn't even his grandfather's. It was really quick and easy to read. It seems shorter than the other Wishbone Mysteries books, but I'm not sure if it actually is.

I liked it because it reminds me of my dogs and of my trophy. I didn't like it because it makes me think of when I had my dog. That's why I rate it a 3 star. The characters were very like life. I liked the dog and the owner.

This book was great, just like Wishbone! The series of books based around this sweet little Jack Russell terrier are as nice as the television show!
