A review by jgarrigan
Out from Boneville by Jeff Smith
5.0
Age recommendation: All Ages
Bone is one of the greatest comic books/graphic novels ever written, and one of it's best attributes is that it's truly for all ages. A 6 year old who is advanced enough to be able to read it, will enjoy it just as much as a 35 year old. The art is simple, but effective, and the epic fantasy story will enthrall anyone. The book is often challenged in schools and libraries due to one character's occasional cigar smoking, and a bar setting where characters drink an unnamed beverage in a glass, but there's no reason why anyone shouldn't read and enjoy.
