The chaos and anarchy of Bunny vs Monkey meets the diary format of Loki and the sparring character dynamics of Blackadder in this two-colour, highly illustrated, laugh-out-loud debut!

“Fans of Louie Stowell's Loki will find much to enjoy here, but so will comic fans who eagerly devour the Phoenix every week. Bone Head is compulsively readable, so will appeal to reluctant or easily distracted readers, but its intelligence and wit will gain it fans from children who adore reading longer, more complicated books too.” – The Bookseller, Children's Book of the Month

The underworld is a dangerous place.

It's all fiery and there's marauding dragons and all sorts of other critters you wouldn't want to run into. Demise, aka Bone Head, isn't bothered about any of this.

Why?

Because he's a skeleton guardian of the underworld – and not just any guardian. He thinks he's the BEST and is determined to prove it… with catastrophic results…

Demise just wants to impress his Big Boss, Hades, god of the underworld. Problem is, Hades barely knows he exists. After an attempt to get attention backfires horribly, causing the gates of Hades' castle to disintegrate, Demise and Mort are demoted to dog-sitting duty. And the dog in question? Cerberus, the famously ferocious three-headed dog of the underworld.

What could possibly go wrong with two creatures made out of bones trying to keep a massive mythological dog under control?
