Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In The Great Cow Race, volume 2 of this 9-book epic, Fone Bone and his cousins plan to return home after visiting the village of Barrelhaven with Thorn and Gran'ma Ben. But Phoney 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 further away than ever. Meanwhile, ominous signs indicate that a war is brewing, and Fone finds himself helping his friends defend their valley from a formidable enemy.

Review:

"The race itself is a riot (literally)....Bone is characterized by fine artwork; crisp, compelling storylines; and funny, yet surprisingly complex, characters. Jeff Smith's art reminds me of Walt Kelly's Pogo, and his world is populated by strange and wonderful creatures..." KLIATT

Book two in the Bone series. This series is fantastic, but it's very difficult to describe. All the elements of a classic fantasy adventure are mashed together with slapstick comedy and acerbic wit. The main characters are drawn in a cartoonlike fashion, but the world they inhabit reveals Smith's formidable artistic talent. Totally hilarious, and bound to give you some warm squishes besides.
