Read in preparation for a (re)read of the original, which I loved in high school four decades ago. Good grounding/introduction. I can only hope the full classic is worth all the extra words....
The framing story, Wishbone as himself with Joe, David, and the rest, is ok, though awfully concise. I suppose that bit's key to the appeal for the young audience, though, to get them interested in the series.
