Book Review: White Crane: Samurai Kids by Sandy Fussell

By Angela Youngman Jan 13, 2009, 0:22 GMT

The Cockroach Ryu are not happy. They want to beat their arch rivals, the Dragon Ryu in the forthcoming Samurai Games. Unfortunately each member of the Cockroach Ryu has a handicap such as innate fear, blindness, one arm, one leg. Can they even survive over their rivals, let alone win? To make matters worse, along the way they collect a new entrant - the Rat boy who turns out to be an escapee from the Dragon Ryu. Attitudes, activities and personalities all clash, leading to a fascinating final clash between the two leaders of the Cockroach Ryu and the Dragon Ryu. Not too violent, yet thought provoking and a very good story about friendship and team work. Will
appeal to any boy who likes Ninja based stories.
