After being run out of Boneville, the three Bone cousins - Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, and Smiley Bone - are separated and lost in a vast, uncharted desert. One by one, they find their way into a deep, forested valley filled with wonderful and terrifying creatures. Eventually, the cousins are reunited at a farmstead run by tough Gran'Ma Ben and her spirited granddaughter, Thorn. But little do the Bones know, there are dark forces conspiring against them and their adventures are only just beginning!
No, really, it's a fantastic epic story that is gorgeously illustrated.
This was one of my favorite books growing up. If you're looking for a comic to give to a younger kid it is highly recommended. Its very kid friendly, its adorable and not scary enough for any nightmares.
The enemies are lovable, the main characters are lovable. Everything about this book is sweet.
I genuinely can't recommend this series enough as it is one of a kind and deserved to have more issues than it did. Which is my only gripe with this series, is that it deserved to be bigger.
Bone is an adorable adventurous masterpiece that I think any kid deserves to try.
10/10 would go into the wilderness without enough map again.
