Wishbone Mysteries gives the PBS literary dog his own detective adventures across 18 books published between 1997 and 2000. Unlike the Adventures of Wishbone series (which retells classics), these books feature original mystery plots with Wishbone and his human friends solving cases.
Brad Strickland wrote the full series, creating mysteries ranging from The Treasure of Skeleton Reef and Case of the On-Line Alien to The Maltese Dog (a nod to The Maltese Falcon) and The Sirian Conspiracy. The titles blend kid-friendly mystery with the show’s love of literary references.
