My ten-year-old grandson Scott and I just published our first book together. As with the CRYSTAL PALACE trilogy for which my granddaughter Karina was the illustrator, Scott is the illustrator for NINJA COUSINS. In this chapter book, Scott with his two brothers and his cousin, find a strange device in the reeds around the lake near their grandparents’ home. When it asks, “Where do you want to go?”, they respond, “To see Ninjas”, of course. And off they go, whirling through time and space to Medieval Japan, to the land of the real Samurai and Ninjas!
They are surprised when the Emperor and Ninjas think they are Ninjas too, and expect them to prove it! What to do? They’ve never even held a ninja star!
NINJA COUSINS is a 60-page chapter book for boys. Boys 5-9 would enjoy the story, whether read by themselves, or read to them. Check it out on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com or at my publisher website: www.outskirtspress.com/ninjacousins.
