The Wishbone Mysteries
The Wishbone Mysteries books depart from the structure of the TV series, no longer including Wishbone imagining himself into a story, but exclusively following Wishbone and his human friends in Oakdale. In each book, Joe, Sam, or David reads a novel or short story (usually, but not always, a mystery), with the events of that story inspiring them as they solve a mystery in the present day. In the second book, Joe discovers a box of his late father's favorite mystery stories in their attic, which supplies many of the books he reads throughout the series.
