Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja

Great book for kids.

seems OK, bought for the nephew

I would definitely recommend this for a younger middle grade audience, and a good transition book from chapter books to middle grade. Chase was not looking forward to being the new kid at school, especially since the only person he knew at the school was his cousin, Zoe. But when a group of ninjas recruit Chase to join their clan, things get a little out of control. What I liked: it is just a fun read. Chase is a wonderful protagonist and someone every kid can relate to. The book has some great underlying themes (like friendship and honesty), but it is just a cute story with fun characters, one that even adults would enjoy. What I didn’t like: there were a few parts that felt unnecessary and slowed the flow down, but not enough to detract from the overall enjoyment of the book. 4.5 out of 5 stars

I liked it it was funny and interesting! The way the book is told is awesome. Over all this was a very good book

My child read this book twice! It's perfect for a child entering the sixth grade! It will help with their confidence level! It's also perfect for a birthday present and summer collection.

My nine year old grandson was excited to get this book

I loved this book it was filled with fun things to read and really surprised me with all the stuff that happened.!

My 2 cents review as a parent would begin with the fairly “blah” story. Not much to it. But it’s “okay” I suppose. Not very much excitement nor cool ninja action. My 3 complaints would be that firstly, the good guys in the story decide to steal a purse as requested by the ninja leader. So not the greatest ethical choice for our heroes. Next, the final battle showdown is a bit bloody & violent in our current PC age. Not really necessary to get so graphic in my opinion. Finally, why the author thought the line “why don’t you two get a room?” was a good choice for a kids book is beyond me. Why? Doesn’t advance the story. It’s a throwaway waste of a line and anyone writing a children’s book should have thought better than that I’d have hoped. Just dumb. I’m no prude but maybe a little better editing & thought on those 3 points could have gone a long way to a more positive review. My kid enjoyed it enough so maybe 3-4 stars from my child’s perspective. I’d give it a 2 & average it out to a 3 between the two of us. I’m on the fence about continuing this series.
