Blood Ninja by Nick Lake - reviewed by Mrs Kieswetter

A vampire book for boys at last!


This gripping story takes place in rural Japan in the 1500s. Taro has been raised as a fisherman’s son but at the outset it is revealed that he is actually the son of a war lord.
As the blurb explains, he will become a ninja, a silent assassin trained in the arts of death.
He will face samurai, he will battle warlords for the title of Shogun.
BUT he will live in darkness for no Blood Ninja can face the light of day.
Derek Landy, author of Skulduggery Pleasant found it brilliant and described it as an action-packed tale of honour, duty and destiny. A book that our Grade 6s and particularly 7s should enjoy.
