Review

In Ancient Japan, two sworn enemies battle for the Golden Egg - The Samurai and the Ninja’s. Who will win?


So follows an hilarious battle full of ridiculous threats, lots of cheating and much giggling (mostly from the Ninja’s).


Complete with amazing detailed illustrations from Tony Flowers, this is sure to be another highly popular series that your students will love.


It will suit reluctant boy readers really well, but any student, boy or girl, Year 3 and up who enjoys a laugh will love this book.
