The Dragonslayer
The forces of evil are growing stronger – but could our heroes' worst enemy be Phoney Bone himself?
Fone 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.

The Bone adventures tell the story of a young bone boy, Fone Bone, and his two cousins, Phoney Bone and Smiley Bone, who are exiled from their homeland of Boneville. When the cousins find themselves mysteriously trapped in a wonderful but often terrifying land filled with secrets and danger and special new friendships, they're soon caught up in adventures beyond their wildest dreams.
