A village race, a risky scheme, and trouble on the horizon

In the second Bone graphic novel, the cousins’ hoped-for journey home is delayed by Phoney Bone’s attempt to make money during Barrelhaven’s annual Great Cow Race. The race brings the village’s comic mishaps into the same story as a growing threat: ominous signs point toward war, and Fone Bone joins his friends in defending the valley. The book combines an event-centered village plot with the series’ wider conflict, keeping the characters’ immediate plans tied to the danger gathering around them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers ages 9–12 interested in action-and-adventure graphic novels.
  • Readers who enjoy stories combining comic schemes, village events, and a larger conflict.
  • Those continuing Jeff Smith’s Bone series.

Book overview

Jeff Smith's New York Times and USA Today bestselling, award-winning BONE books are one of the most popular graphic novel series of all time!

 

Fone Bone and his cousins plan to return home after visiting the village of Barrelhaven with Thorn and Gran'ma Ben. But Phoney Bone risks everything on one last get-rich-quick scheme for the town's annual Great Cow Race. As usual, Phoney's plans go disastrously awry, and Boneville seems farther away than ever.

Meanwhile, ominous signs indicate that a war is brewing, and Fone Bone finds himself helping his friends defend their idyllic valley from a formidable enemy.
