Product Description
Oakdale is shut down during a blackout, and Joe's big chance to get noticed by the eighth-grade basketball coach will be left in the dark--unless he and Wishbone can somehow high tail it across town to the game in time! Their adventure reminds Wishbone of Daniel Defoe's great tale Robinson Crusoe. Wishbone imagines himself as Crusoe.

In the dark and out at sea!!! November 8, 2006
Robinhound Crusoe is a great book, and it's great for kids! It all starts with 12-year-old Joe (Wishbone's friend) who is doing his warm-ups for a basketball game that he is going to play in, but Ellen's (Joe's mom) tooth has been bothering her, so, she decides to go to the dentist. Before she goes she says if he needs anything to give her a call. But when she is gone there's a blackout, and Joe doesn't know if he can make it to the game in time. Wishbone and Joe go out to try to make it to the ball game, and this reminded Wishbone of the classic book Robinson Crusoe. Robinson Crusoe does not like to work in his dad's hat shop, so he goes out to sea and gets shipwrecked, and stuck on a island. I'm not going to tell you anymore about this book, but if you do want to know more about it buy the book!!!
Dark Oakdale and Stranded on an Island August 1, 2001

It starts off with Joe practicing some basketball warm-ups for his big game that night. Joe has been trying hard to impress the eighth grade coach. Ellen's tooth has been bothering her, so, she decides to go to the dentist. Joe says bye, and his mom tells him if he needs anything to give her a call. It's about 4:30 and all of a sudden the lights go out in Joe's house. He goes in, to see if he can fix the problem. Joe wonders if he'll ever make it to the game on time. This situation reminds Wishbone of Robinson Cruesoe. Robinson Crusoe is this man, doesn't want to work in a hat shop with his father. He goes to seek what he thinks is his true calling. He secretly tells his mom and dad good-bye and that he loves them, and that maybe he would come back some day to see them. Robinson goes to sea, his so called true calling. His ship gets wrecked and he is thrown ashore on an island all by himself. he doesn't know if anyone else survived the shipwreck. So, I only have two questions left for you. Will Joe ever make it to his game on time? Will Robinson ever make it off the island, or will he be stuck there for life? Well, you will have to read this book for yourself; to find out the answers to these two questions. I really enjoyed reading this book, it was really great. I would also reccomend reading Prince and the Pooch, by Caroline Leavitt, and this book, Robinhound Cruesoe, by Caroline Leavitt.
