Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Children's Literature
In his twelfth adventure, Wishbone the Dog follows David Balfour's path in Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped! Wishbone finds himself orphaned and must seek his family and fortune in faraway Edinburgh. His adventures of finding a corrupt uncle, being kidnapped aboard a sailing ship and meeting a Highland rebel named Alan Breck Stewart, all follow the original story. These chapters are interspersed with Hoe, Wishbone's owner, and his dilemma about telling the truth. Joe has gone to the park instead of doing his assigned chores. While there, he sees his archenemy, Curtis; later in the day, Joe becomes Curtis' alibi for vandalizing a storefront. Joe's decision to clear Curtis while implicating himself may cause his mother to ground him. The classic story uses some of Stevenson's words, thus retaining some of its flavor, while the modern story is told in contemporary American dialect. The connection between the two story lines is murky; Joe's loyalty to Curtis isn't backed up by shared experiences as David's to Alan is. However, this book should appeal to Wishbone fans. 2000, Gareth Stevens Publishing, Ages 9 to 12, $21.27. Reviewer: Kit Bloom
Children's Literature - Dr. Judy Rowen
For those who have not seen the public television show, Wishbone is a dog who loves great literature. In this outing, the circumstances in his owner's life remind him of Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped. The events in Wishbone's hometown of Oakdale are interwoven with the story of David Balfour, who finds himself captive on a ship run by ruffians. After a shipwreck, David must escape capture by British soldiers who erroneously believe he has murdered someone. Back in Oakdale, Wishbone's owner Joe is wrestling with his conscience over another incident in which someone has been unjustly accused. The story is true to the original source, and moves along briskly. Fans of the television show will enjoy this addition to the series.
