"A strong wind made the balloon break the head off of the statue and all the townspeople ran Phoncible, Smiley, and Fone out of town.
"After crossing a desert, the cousins are separated by a sea of locusts and individually end up in the mysterious 'Valley', pursued by rat creatures. They then joyously reunite at a local village called 'Barrelhaven', where they are taken in by a mysterious girl named 'Thorn'. Fone Bone instantly develops a crush on Thorn and repeatedly attempts to prove his love through poetry.
"As they stay longer in the valley, the Bones encounter humans and other creatures who are threatened by a dark entity, the 'Lord of the Locusts'. The Bones are quickly drawn into the events around them, compelling them on a hero's journey to help save the world..."
