Ever wonder what happened before the Bone cousins got lost in the uncharted forest of the Valley?
This is a hilarious companion to Jeff Smith's bestselling, award-winning BONE saga!

But little is known of the mighty explorer's adventures before he started his famous trading post. So when Smiley Bone sits down with a group of young scouts to retell the legendary stories of Boneville's origins, what they hear are wild antics complete with Rat Creatures, Dragons, and a snarky little monkey!
