This book trailer for the Bone series was originally the Mystery Book Theater video for our Graphic Novels theme. For more on the Bone series, check out our “Pretty as a Picture” podcast.

Believe it or not, Jeff Smith dreamed up his three main characters for the Bone series when he was in kindergarten!

In the meantime, check out our video introduction to this trio of unlikely heroes.
