This exciting
adventure story is set in ancient Japan, with a female ninja warrior at its
center, carrying out her mission to protect a magical pearl that shelters a
demon. This exciting adventure
story, which is a sequel to Deadly Flowers, involves a female ninja warrior,
Kata, whose mission is to guard a magical pearl that harbors a demon. In so
doing, she must transport the pearl through unknown lands, facing one danger
after another as she encounters other ninjas, thieves, samurai, and monsters.
Along the way, she must make many choices: should she rely only on her own
ninja skills, as is traditionally expected or accept the help of friends? Should she use up her last wish even though
the price of doing so will unleash a terrible demon upon the world? The author has done her research into
Japanese mythology, and this book will appeal particularly to those students
who love all things Japanese.
Summary:
This is a good book on grammar, and specifically the use of first-person
pronouns, for any age (really), but geared toward upper-elementary and
middle-school readers. Well organized and fun to read, it is also very
informative.
