Key to the Golden Dog [Large Print]

This was my first encounter with the books in the Wishbone Mysteries series and it was a most pleasurable encounter. I read this book with one of our grandchildren and I found the characters charming and the plotting quite intriguing. Having four dogs of our own, I found Wishbone a most delightful character and our granddaughter and I plan to read more books in the series. Definitely a fun read!

This book is one of my favorite Wishbone books. It's Oakdale history month,and every one wants to help celebrate the event! Even the mysterious Carl Ottinger pitches in by allowing Pepper Pete's Pizza Parlor to display his treasured antique model railroad system. Then, suddenly the valuable steam engine vanishes! Mr. Ottinger spreads the word about Pepper Pete's lack of security. All the bad publicity could signal the end for Wishbone's fovorite pizza parlor!"What no more breadsticks or pepperoni?" Wishbone asks."Somebody has to do something!" Wishbone, Samantha Kepler, and their friends must crack the case before its to late for Pepper Pete's. However, they soon learn that the missing steam engine is only one piece in the large puzzle whose key lies in a missing golden dog... The book also has a very suprising ending. This book is a must for every Wishbone book collecter or someone who just want to read a good story.
