Bone by Jeff Smith
My husband loved this as a young man, and I read it because it means so much to him. I see so much of who he is in this book. I see how it shaped him, and just like him, it's wonderful.

It's a magnificent, epic fantasy adventure. Charming, exciting, funny. It lies somewhere between the high end of juvenile/middle grade and the lower end of young adult fiction. I would have loved it best around age 14.

BONE Handbook by Jeff Smith
A summary and compendium of a comic series I have heard about, but haven't yet read. Not bad as an introduction, but probably better read after the comic itself.

Out from Boneville by Jeff Smith
My then 10 year old nephew loves these books, and gave me the first one to read. It was actually pretty good - very nice art and has kind of a subversive streak to it too.
