About this item
The uniquely talented samurai kids are back — and ready to join forces with a ninja clan! — as the fast-paced martial arts series continues.Across the valley, a drumbeat echoes. For ten days, the drum will call the mountain ryus to war, including the samurai kids from the Cockroach Ryu. Only Japan’s feudal emperor can stop the war, so Niya and Sensei Ki-Yaga set off on a grueling journey with all the Cockroaches, whose firm friendship and unusual skills must be put to the test in order to beg the Emperor to maintain peace. Sensei Ki-Yaga is respected and wise, but unfortunately, the last time he encountered the Emperor, the Emperor threatened to cut off his head. All seems hopeless until Ki-Yaga guides the Cockroaches to meet with the Owl Ninja clan.
About the Author
I am a mum, a children's author and a computer programmer. Much to my surprise, the three go together very well. I love to read - anything and everything - but children's and young adult titles are my favourite.
Growing up in a house with few books, I discovered reading and the library when I started school. I studied hard because books were given as academic prizes.
I began writing in 2002 when one of my children stopped reading. A mother-son writing project ended with me being told to "go write your own book". I did and have been doing so ever since.
