About this book

Smiley Bone, Fone Bone, and their Rat Creature pal, Bartleby, take a group of young scouts to a legendary landmark that the Bone cousins found when they were kids. They share stories around a campfire, spinning tales of trips to the moon, the delights of quiche, an imagined monster come to life, and an encounter with the two stupid Rat Creatures gone hilariously wrong!

This volume includes stories written by Jeff Smith and Tom Sniegoski, and illustrated by Jeff Smith, Stan Sakai, Katie Cook, Matt Smith, and Scott Brown.

“Jeff Smith is one of the great pioneers of the modern all-ages graphic novel. Without BONE, much of our current library would not exist. Ask any up-and-coming graphic novelist which books inspired them, and BONE will often be mentioned at the top of their list. It definitely sits at the top of mine." -- Kazu Kibuishi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Amulet
