  • Birth of a Ninja

    Peter Marney

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Sept. 12, 2017)
    Help your child to read Yes, it’s an unusual way to start the description for a children’s series of adventure stories but these books really do help. “He wouldn’t go to sleep as he wanted to finish the chapter” When I supported kids with reading problems I was frequently frustrated as they struggling with simple and I’m sorry to say, rather boring books. I made my sessions as interesting as possible but engaging growing minds with this material wasn’t easy and it got me thinking. Why not write something better? So I did. “My daughter loves your books” Every parent knows that forcing a child to do something means you’ve already lost the contest so why not take a cleverer approach? If your child is excited about a story then they will keep reading even if it’s a bit difficult for them. “Even my reluctant readers want to try these” Written with struggling readers in mind, the books have easy to read print and short chapters so it won’t be too long before your child can proudly say “Finished!” and have that sense of achievement. “He’s dyslexic but he’s read the whole series” Each book is self-contained but the story and the characters also develop over the whole series to a thrilling conclusion. But these aren’t just adventure stories. Our friends also encounter realistic challenges which give the reader something to think about so don’t be surprised if they generate a question or two. So, who are these books about? Our story is told by Jamie, an ordinary boy who wants to be a superhero. He’s keen to do the right thing but that isn’t always easy and sometimes it gets him and his friends in trouble. These friends are Red and Wally. Red’s the best fighter in the school even if she’s small and Wally is a super-brain on stilts disguised as a space cadet. Then there’s Kiera, Jamie’s babysitter from hell. She’s the real leader of the Red Sock Ninja Clan and teaches them all sorts of new and exciting skills. Strange but true, these books even have strong female characters to appeal to the other 50% of the planet and without resorting to fairies or glitter. Will these books help my child to read? Not as such but they will give them the desire to pick up a book and bury themselves in a good story, and that’s half the battle already won. “There’s a waiting list in our school library for these books” Lots of kids have already enjoyed these stories and found a new love for reading which was what I set out to do in the first place. My work here is done - except now my test readers want me to write more stories for them!

    Do not start hereNo I don’t want to put you off buying but this book is the second of the Red Sock Ninja Clan Adventures. If that doesn’t mean anything to you then please have a look at “Birth of a Ninja” (the first of the series) before considering this book. That will tell you everything you need to know about these stories and why they were written.If you’re still here then you’ll already know that these stories are specifically written with the reluctant reader in mind. The print is easy to read and the chapters fairly short so they’ll be eager to keep going and find out what happens next.What is this adventure about?This time around our Ninja Clan must deal with a mad dog, a new school judo teacher and a secret door that Jamie didn’t know existed. Their new caretaker is also behaving suspiciously which prompts the clan to break into school one night for special ninja exercises. Yes, they know it’s wrong “but sometimes you’ve got to do wrong to do right” as Jamie might say.If your child enjoyed the first adventure then encourage their reading habit by giving them this new story about the Red Sock Ninja Clan.
