Age Level: 7-12 The Pirate Ninja Series was written for the type of kid who loves video games but will read books if they are funny, fast-paced, and full of action and excitement! And because of that, the Pirate Ninja books were written in a very particular way: TO HOOK CHILDREN ON READING! Rise of the Nimrods is the fourth book in the Pirate Ninja Series. It features Archie Beller, the new kid in the unusual town of Kings Cove, California. Because in Kings Cove, kids don't do things like ride bikes, play video games, and read comic books. Nope, in Kings Cove you're either a Pirate, or you're a Ninja. And Archie... well, he just wants to be a normal kid from Nebraska. The boys are getting ready for Thanksgiving, Turkey Day! And that means the big parade. And how can you have a parade without a float? Well, the Nimrods have the greatest float planned. That is... until something horrible goes wrong. This leads to the greatest adventure yet. Get ready for the most action packed and explosive book yet and get ready for... PIRATE NINJA! Rise of the Nimrods and the entire Pirate Ninja Series is perfect for the classic RELUCTANT READER or for the kid who reads but wants his books funny, fast-paced, and full of excitement and action!
