The Bones books are an award-winning comic books series created by author-illustrator Jeff Smith.
Each volume follows three lost cousins, Fone Bone, Phoncible P. "Phoney" Bone and Smiley Bone. After having been run out of their hometown Boneville, they get separated and lost in a myserious valley, and the books follow them as they find their way back to each other and ultimately save the mysterious valley itself from various dangers.
We love these books because they mix humour and fun with an epic quest, where we uncover secrets of the valley as well as meet all sorts of characters from monsters and dragons to princesses and more along the way.
This series of graphic novels is perfect for all fans of the Amulet book series and The Last Kids on Earth. If you're looking for a new graphic novel series to read, do take a look at our blog post on the Best Graphic Novel Series for 9 and 10 year olds.
