Out from Boneville / Jeff Smith / 138 pages / First Book in a Series

Bone #1
Phoney Bone and his cousins are driven out of town by the good people of Boneville.  They are lost in the desert and get separated by a swarm of locusts.  Fone Bone encounters talking bugs, rat creatures, a dragon, racing cows, and Thorn, with whom her falls in love.  Bone is saved repeatedly by the dragon on his quest to be reunited with his cousins.  Unfortunately, the rat people leader wants Phonicible P. Bone.  The Bone series is engaging, surprising, and very popular with elementary students.
