    Synopsis

    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.

    Children's Literature

    When Bone was first introduced to my students, it was an immediate favorite. I personally purchased three copies for my classroom and they were used so much that I had to have a sheet for students to sign so everyone knew who was going to get a copy during silent reading the following day. What a wonderful acclamation for any book. This story is interesting from the first page. Dangerous times exist for Barrelhaven, as the repugnant leader of the rat creatures has a bad meeting with Gran'ma Ben, Fone Bone, and Thorn. A war is certainly unavoidable—or is it? One never knows who the worst enemy might be and this element of surprise adds thought-provoking suspense. This book actually has eight chapters; each with provocative titles such as "Stick-Eater and on the Dragon's Stair." Boys and girls alike will enjoy reading the story and will fall in love with the characters. The artwork is wonderful and adds much to the story. Readers will not be satisfied to put this book away after finishing it; they will instead, want to read and enjoy the illustrations again and again. I must prepare the reader for the ending...be ready to yell, "AGHHHH." I highly recommend this book and want to suggest this as a great gift for anyone who still likes to imagine.

    March 22, 2009: Bone the Dragonslayer was a great book. The cover art and illustrations were awesome, the writing was very good, the charecters were great, and the story is phenomanal. It is so absorbing that I wouldn't go to sleep till I finished the book. The book is hillarious and thrilling. You should read this book just for the fun of it.
