I have read some of the bone books in the past but my favorite one has been the fifth bone book. It is called Roque Jaw Master of the Easter Border. This book follows Fone Bone and Smiley Bone as they try to return Bartleby (the baby rat creature they found) to the mountains with the other rat creatures. Along the way they meet Roque Jaw who is a huge mountain lion that captures the three of them. This is because he believes that their cousin Phoney Bone has the power to unite the valley. He threatens to kill them if they do not help him. They manage to get away from Roque Jaw when he attacks two rat creatures. They enter a cave and escape through a secret passage that brings them to the rat kingdom. Roque Jaw then follows them to see if they are going to bring them to Phoney Bone but when he realizes that they are not going to take him there, he attacks them and takes control of them.

One reason that I have fun reading these books are the illustrations. Jeff Smith does an excellent job with the pictures in this book. I like how creative he was with each character and he makes sure that every page looks different. I liked this book and I recommend it to anyone who has read and enjoyed the other bone books and to anyone who is looking for something fun and different to read. (250 words)
