Synopsis
Illustrator David Wiesner, noted for telling wordless stories with his art, presents a shortened-for-children version of Fritz Leiber's classic 1967 Nebula and 1968 Hugo Award-winning science fiction novella, GONNA ROLL THE BONES. Dice roller Joe Slattermill plays a desperate game with Death himself--in the guise of a skeletal character named Big Gambler--at an eerie dive called The Boneyard. Slattermill loses but murders Big Gambler and escapes. Wiesner's sepia-toned pencil-on-vellum drawings capture the shadowy, spectral sensibility of Leiber's dark tale.

Publisher's Note
Disgusted with his unhappy life and ramshackle home, Joe Slattermill heads out for a night at The Boneyard for an evening of gambling, yet despite his special talent for throwing dice, the stakes of the game suddenly become very great and Joe now has to decide whether or not to take the risk--a risk that could cost him his life.
