My name is Chase Cooper, and I'm a 6th grade ninja. It's my first day at a different school and the only person I know is my cousin, Zoe (but she might be a little too cool for me). I was just another scrawny kid until a group of ninjas recruited me into their clan. It was a world of trouble I wasn't prepared for, which is why I kept this diary (or "chronicle" as my dad would call it) - to warn other kids about the dangers of becoming a ninja. They say history is destined to repeat itself...well, not if I can help it.

A Well Written Children's Book!
Jack and Beth are incredible young children, who exhibit sound judgement and decision making.
I really liked them and this book reminds me of the Newberry Awards books I used to read as a child. It was difficult to believe this was an Indie author and not one who is signed!
Although it drags in areas (it could have been the narrator - he's good, but I'm not sure if he was the best choice for a children's book) it's very solid. The characters evolve, have differences, and resolve conflicts. Loose ends are tied up eloquently, but we can hope to see Jack & Beth again!
I would definitely recommend this wholesome mystery/adventure for youngsters or to be shared as a family.

Unique story for 5th-8th graders
This is a unique story. Not children's not quite you g adult but just right there in between. luckily I have two young boys that age. They along with myself found it to be a very interesting book. The author kept up a pace that they found it interesting and were able to keep up with the narrator delivered an excellent story. I highly recommend for anyone within that age group as well as above it. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
