Smith, J. (2005). Bone: Out from Boneville. New York, NY: Graphix.
Bone is a graphic novel series about characters that kind of look like...walking, talking bones. This first installment of the series is about how Fone Bone helps his cousin Phoney Bone escape from Boneville after an angry mob finds out about Phoney's underhanded business deals. They have little help from their cousin Smiley Bone before being separated. Fone spends the winter surviving and looking for his cousins, and meets monsters and friends along the way. Out from Boneville is a good book for practicing making predictions. It is split into six chapters; after each chapter, it is fun to stop and imagine what will happen next. My favorite character is the dragon, and I wanted to know more about why he tries to protect Fone. I suppose I will have to read more of this series to find out.
