In The Great Cow Race, volume two of the nine-book Bone series, Fone Bone and his cousins plan to return home after visiting the village of Barrelhaven with Thorn and Gran'ma Ben. But Phoney risks everything on one last get-rich-quick scheme for the town's annual Great Cow Race. As usual, Phoney's plans go disastrously awry, and Boneville seems farther away than ever. Meanwhile, ominous signs indicate war is brewing, and Fone finds himself helping his friends defend their valley from a formidable enemy.
