Fifth grader Timothy James McAllister has a problem with bullies at his school. He wishes he could deal with them the way the ninja in his favorite manga deals with his adversaries. So when he wins the services of his own feudal Japanese warrior for a year, the bullies fall into line. So what’s next? How about the most obnoxiously snobby rich kid in the school?

What do you do when your very own ninja warrior is threatened by a rival ninja army hired by the most obnoxiously snobby rich kid in your elementary school? Even worse, what do you do, when she starts to channel powers of darkness, and first the school and then the whole town is plastered with posters saying, “Big Sister is Watching You!” Do you really have to ask?

These laugh-out-loud funnies are chock full of verbal and visual humor that will appeal to the fans of Captain Underpants. There’s ninja fighting, a scheming little sister, mind control cereal, silly songs, and even – are you ready for this – disco ninja dancing!
