Bone

Yo, my name's Cole I'm making a blog because my teacher told us to do it for a project. The book series I'm reading is called Bone it's a very popular graphic novel that came out in the 90's as an underground book series but it grew to be very popular. Now it has sold over 1 million books and is still selling. I chose this because I am a huge fan of Jeff Smith's (the author) work he is very good at making things dramatic, and funny at the same time. I hope you decide to read Bone because it's a fun series to read.
When you see a Bone book you will see a small white guy with a big nose. Jeff Smith has made 9 Bone books all I think are amazingly detailed and artistic some are much more exciting than others like the beginning is always less exciting than the middle or the climax. Bone has many characters but these are the main ones that I'm going to talk about. The three Bones are Fone Bone the main one and the smart one, Smiley Bone the goofy and funny one, and Phoney Bone the scheming greedy one. Thorn is also a main character she's a lonely farm girl who has much more to her than meets the eye, she grew up living with her Gran'ma Ben, also a main character, and her parents were killed by rat creatures ugly hairy things with large ears and no tails.
