Books with author Jefferson Smith

Trapped in a dungeon while the fate of the Valley is decided by two raging armies, Thorn is haunted by the dangerous and mysterious object of power known as the Crown of Horns. Guarded by dragons, the Crown of Horns is the only thing that can stop the Locust and end the war... but how, and at what price? Fone Bone believes he knows the answer, and he must decide where his heart truly lies...

A long dormant volcano explodes, freeing the ancient evil known only as the Locust, and filling the land with soot and ash. Alone and frightened, the Bone cousins, Thorn and feisty old Gran'ma Ben must fight the elements and the rat creatures as they struggle to reach the glorious city of Atheia. A pivotal and surprising new novel in the adventures of the Bone boys, caught between their desire to get home and a sense of duty for their newfound friends.

This collection contains some of the most exciting, suspensful and fantastic chapters of the BONE saga! From the nighttime journey of Fone Bone, Thorn and Gran'ma Ben and their terrifying encounter with Kingdok, the hideous leader of the rat creatures, to the ridiculous manipulation of the villagers and Phoney Bone's sunrise ceremony to sacrifice the Great Red Dragon!

In their most popular adventure since "The Great Cow Race", Fone Bone and Smiley strike out into the wilderness to return a lost rat creature cub to the mountains. They meet new allies - a scrappy young band of animal orphans (their parents were eaten by the stupid rat creatures) and a mysterious new foe: the formidable Rock Jaw, a giant mountain lion who fancies himself the master of the eastern border. Together they uncover the riddles of nature and before it is over, two great titans of the realm meet in an earth-shattering clash that will determine the fate of the land.

As war spreads through the Valley and the rat creatures mount a vicious offense, Gran'ma, Lucius, Phoney Bone and the villagers join the Veni Yan warriors and set up base camp at Old Man's Cave to make a final stand against the Rat Creature army. Will Fone Bone be able to hold the alliance together? Will the rat creatures finally take over the valley and unleash the power of the Lord of the Locusts? Find out and discover much much more in this pivotal book.
