Illustrated by Michael Tonn
Cover Design or Artwork by Chloe Niclas
Use your ninja skills to break an ancient curse in this interactive book where YOU decide what happens next! Packed with 21 possible endings!

Choose Your Own Adventure books–the 4th bestselling children’s series of all time–are back and as much fun as you remember. Kids and adults agree, these are the books that get 9- to 12-year-olds reading.

YOU are an older, wiser, and more powerful ninja, but challenging the threats to Nada's dojo will take all of your skills. Will you be a match for the shugenja, warrior priests who hide in the rural mountainside? Police have the dojo covered, but you begin to suspect some are double agents who are involved in the mayhem. Keep your friends close, and your shuriken closer–you may need as many throwing stars as you can handle to keep Nada and her family safe. Be careful, the choices YOU make might end in glory, disaster, or certain death.
JAY LEIBOLD was born in Denver, Colorado. He has also written Sabotage, Grand Canyon Odyssey, Spy for George Washington, The Antimatter Formula, The Search for Aladdin's Lamp, You Are a Millionaire, Beyond the Great Wall, Revenge of the Russian Ghost, Surf Monkeys, Ninja Cyborg, and Return of the Ninja for the Choose Your Own Adventure series.
