Product Description: Fone Bone confronts a host of dangers in Book 4 of the BONE saga, The Dragonslayer. He and Gran'ma Ben and Thorn have a terrifying encounter with Kingdok, ruler of the rat creatures. The Hooded One is inciting his army to full-scale war. Someone is continuing to haunt Thorn in her dreams. And then wise Gran'ma Ben disappears. To make matters worse, Phoney Bone has hoodwinked the townspeople into believing that he is a mighty dragonslayer. When he actually does catch the Red Dragon -- much to his surprise -- he must face up to his promise: to slay the dragon at sunrise.
Amazon.com Review: When Bone first came on the scene, critics raved about it, often mentioning it as being "fun for the whole family." Jeff Smith has always been wary about others labeling his work "for children," partly because he knew that "no topic of human experience--from the introspection of Peanuts or the politics of Doonesbury to the lyricism of Pogo--was beyond the wonderful world of comics." He was also cautious because he knew that the story he was telling was going to deal with issues and themes graver than Saturday morning's cotton-candy cartoons. In Bone: The Dragonslayer, the first volume of the second Bone trilogy, there is conflict, sometimes involving violence. There are forces of evil. There is war. But Bone is neither pap nor pabulum; it is challenging without being obtuse, and yes, even within its fantasy setting, Bone is real. This distinct combination makes it the best kind of children's book. Parents, read this book with your children. You'll find it may turn out to be your favorite book, too.
The entire Bone Series-great for 10yr old boys who are reluctant readers My son never enjoyed reading until he discovered three series of books: The Wimpy Kid series, Captain Underpants series and now the Bone Series. There are nine books, and my son is presently reading number 5. He reads it on his own, for pleasure. It's tough finding books that capture his attention, so the Bone series is a winner!
brandon book revew Bone the Dragon Slayer by Jeff Smith is a great book for ages 8 and up. It is a book of adventure with Bone, Dario, and her grandma. Her grandmother surprisingly fights really well. One of the characters in the book claims to have slayed the dragon, but he did not just to steal gold from the townspeople. He also pretended to saly the dragon This book is set in the past.
The Dragonslayer A great edition to the series. I recommend that you buy the whole series because at the end, they will leave you hanging!!!
Great graphic novel This graphic novel is suitable for children as well as adults. My 10-year-old grandson loves it, and his parents and I also found it enjoyable.
Bone:The Dragonslayer book review The book, Bone:The Dragonslayer is the 4th book of the Bone series. It is a good adventure book and is written by Jeff Smith. Their are over 1 million Bone books sold all over the world. The plot of this book is about Phoney bone, the main character, and him spreading rumors that he is going to to slay a dragon just to win a bet on who will sell more drinks. Then after they captured a dragon, Phoney bone couldn't kill the dragon, which revealed his lie. The time period in this book is in the modern times because it had cigars and dollar bills in the book. With a good storyline and good characters, this is the best adventure book yet.
