The Kidnappers: A Mystery

137 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-81394-5
(4) 4-6 Known for his tall tales and his run-ins with a bully named Willie, Joey Bishop has difficulty convincing anyone that he witnessed Willie's abduction outside the boys' elite prep school. The story features a stereotypically taciturn father and socialite mother, and the kidnappers' hideout--just one apartment below the Bishops'--strains credibility. However, Joey is an engaging protagonist, and the mystery is fast paced.
