I have finished reading all 10 books of Bone. This is a delightful adventure for children to read as well as adults. Jeff Smith keeps you glued to the book just as Lord of the Rings did. The illustrations are a delight and they capture the expressions of the characters down to a "T". Each book is just long enough to keep your interest and make you want to reach for the next.
