Reason for Reading: next in the series.
Time for a change of pace as this book focuses on Fone Bone and
Smiley Bone as they go up into the mountains to release the baby
rat creature cub that they found in the previous volume. Smiley has
become attached to him and named him Bartelby. They meet lots of
new & a few old characters and the two stupid rat creatures
continue to try and catch them, Roque Ja takes them hostage and the
young possums find their trail once again meeting up with a whole
group of orphaned animals. Fone and Smiley meet up with every
possible bad guy to date on this mini side-expedition bringing lots
of excitement and the usual humour. Fone and Smiley are definitely
my favourite two characters though I did miss the red dragon's
usual cameo.
