SYNOPSIS

Trying to return a rat creature cub to the mountains, Fone & Smiley Bone encounter yet another adversary: the sly and mighty mountain lion, Rock Jaw.

In this fifth volume of the BONE saga, Fone and Smiley Bone strike out into the wilderness to return a lost rat creature cub to the mountains. It doesn’t take long before they run smack into Rock Jaw, “Master of the Eastern Border,” an enormous mountain lion with a none-too-friendly disposition. Life gets even more complicated when they befriend a group of baby animals who are being orphaned by rat creature attacks. Everything comes to a head in an earth-shattering clash between Rock Jaw and Kingdok, the leader of the rat creatures.

REVIEW

My childhood memories of the Bone series are a little hazy, but I believe this was my favourite volume. I love Bartleby so much. I would keep him forever, even if that meant living among the rat people.

All the little orphaned animals really pull at my heart strings. They also brought a nice touch of dark humour.

Roque Ja is such a strange & interesting character. I wish he wasn’t so mean, but cats do will be cat. I kind of want to see a one on one duel between him & the red dragon.
