TITLE: Wink The Ninja Who Wanted To Be Noticed
AUTHOR: J.C Phillipps
PUB DATE: March 2009

ABOUT THE BOOK:
The happiest day of Wink’s life was when he was accepted to the Summer Moon School for Young Ninjas. He is sure that he will be a great ninja. Silence is the first lesson and everyone is very very silent … except for Wink. Stealth is the second lesson and everyone is very very stealthy … except for Wink. Finally, Wink decides that he will be silent and stealthy. But no one notices! What’s the point of being a great ninja if no one notices? Maybe Wink wasn’t meant to be a ninja?

This daring debut is an adventure-lover’s dream.

MICHAEL’S THOUGHTS:
I really enjoyed this book. I loved that the ninja would do anything to try and fit in even though he didn’t.

To be a great ninja you have to be quiet and to blend in both things that Wink couldn’t do. Wink was sad because he wanted to prove to Master Zutsu he was a good ninja.

Coming home one day he heard noises and he went to check it out. A boy was practising his aecrobatics and Wink told him he was too stuff so he showed the boy.

What do you think become of Wink? Did he become that ninja he dreamed he would be?
