Review by Alyssa
Who would like this book? Mostly younger kids, maybe more males. It’s a good fast read, and there are a lot of pictures, I only read it to pass the time. I would recommend this book to people with lower reading skills.
The goods on the book: In Bone, Out from Boneville, well the title is pretty self-explanatory. There are these creatures called “bones” and three of these bones get chased out from their home, “Boneville”. They then get separated by some “insects”. Did I mention why they got chased out of Boneville? Well, Smiley Bone’s cousin got them chased out when he tried to run for mayor, and everything went wrong. The main character is Smiley Bone, and when he and his cousins get separated, he follows a map into a valley and gets snowed in for the winter. He makes friends with a girl named Thorn. What will happen next? Will he fall for her? Will he find his cousins? Read the book to find out. There are also more books in the series, that I don’t plan on reading, but if you like this book, you can read them, too. It’s a graphic novel, and some graphic novels are good, but not this one.
The details: 138 pp. 2005 Review by Alyssa
