About this Collection

This first volume of the BONE series introduces the three Bone cousins—Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, and Smiley Bone—as they are run out of Boneville and find themselves lost in a mysterious forest. They soon stumble into a valley filled with strange creatures, including a young woman named Thorn and her protective grandmother, setting the stage for an epic fantasy adventure. Originally published in black and white by Cartoon Books, this Scholastic edition collects the opening chapters of Jeff Smith's acclaimed saga.

"The Map" kicks off Jeff Smith’s beloved Bone series with a vivid, character-driven origin that unfolds through the eyes of Phoney Bone and his kin. As Gran'ma, Thorn, and Fone Bone journey to Boneville to find Smiley and Phoney, the story quietly reveals the roots of their exile—told with Smith’s signature blend of whimsy, mystery, and heartfelt storytelling. The full creative vision, from pencils to inks to colors, is a singular achievement by Jeff Smith, with cover art by Smith himself.
