Out from Boneville by Jeff Smith
3.0
In my continuing effort to try to read some middle grade/older elementary books each year in order to better offer reading suggestions to that age crowd, I finally succumbed to pressure to read Bone. It was just as cute, fun, adventurous, and intriguing as it had been promised. I will be sure to share with many who enter my library’s doors.
But (you could feel that coming … right?), I did not love this enough to consume all 9 volumes and the prequel. My TBR list is vast and the TBR pile quite imposing. I have to get back in the habit of “it is okay to read only the first one so you are familiar with it.” By all means, share this book with your younger adventurerers! I’m just not going to devote the time to make sure they make it back across the valley!
