Koji is doubly unlucky. He is a twin, and in feudal Japan twins are thought to bring great misfortune to all those around them. And though Kaji and Taro are identical in appearance, Taro easily outdoes Koji at everything.
But then Koji's life changes forever. Through and odd twist of fate, he is kidnapped by a secret ninja clan and taken to their hidden camp high in the mountains. He wants desperately to return home, even if it is to live in the shadow of his brother. But that is forbidden. He must forget his family and become a ninja- or die.
In this action-packed story, Koji is forced to to fulfill a destiny far different from any he could have imagined for himself but also to survive in an unfamiliar and dangerous world, a world infused with the mystery and intrigue of the ninja.
This is a good book for ages nine and up. The reason for nine and up is because there is really hard words that even I can't pronounce out loud. The good thing is that you can always can go to the glossary in the back of the book. This is really convenient for if you can't understand the word ''chunin''- which means a middle ranking ninja.
Just give this book a try, you won't regret it.
If I were to rate this book from a scale of 1-5 stars, I would give it five stars!!
