White Ninja by Tiffiny Hall

The magical powers of the ancient tiger scrolls are hidden deep within the cemetery of warriors and both the savage samurai and the nifty ninjas are battling to get hold of the mysterious papers. But who will succeed in getting hold of the scrolls first?

My favourite part of the story is when Roxy leaps over houses and roofs with her mother. That is when she realises she has ninja power like her mother. I like the precise words Tiffany Hall uses to describe exactly what happens. It created a very clear picture in the my mind.

The main character in this story is 13-year old Roxy Ran, daughter of a retired ninja. She has superb fighting skills and together with her curiosity, she is the master at martial arts. She has an annoying big sister called Elektra who is a huge fan of fashion. Roxy’s father is a skilled artist who has a brilliant name to match that - Art.

White Ninja has lots of twists and turns which the reader doesn’t see coming. With action-packed chapters and a hint of romance, this book is obviously a book that readers can’t put down. Using suitable words to set the scene, Tiffany Hall has the power to grab the attention of kids of all ages.

I would definitely recommend this book to all children who either do martial arts or are interested in fighting. People who like action and romance should also read this no-put-down book.

White Ninja by Tiffiny Hall

There is a girl called Roxy who, with her friend Jackson, tries to find out who the white ninja is. She doesn’t know much about ninjas and everything that goes along with it. All she knows is that she is sick of being bullied by Hero. She starts to discover something when she starts a fight with the bully - after that there’s no going back.

I loved the part where Roxy fights Hero. There are quite a few, but I think the first fight was one of the best. The adrenalin Tiffiny Hall has put into the words is amazing. The description that helped me create a picture in my mind was outstanding.

The main character is Roxy and the bad guy main character is Hero. She has a sister Elecktra and a friend called Jackson.  Roxy is shy and is bullied a lot. As she starts unraveling things about the past and finding out some other stuff about herself, she starts to stand up for herself.

I could not put this book down. It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. It definitely deserves to be part of the fifty books list of those you can’t put down.  I felt as if in all parts of the story I was standing there and watching everything happening. It only took me two days to read and then I wanted more – books two and three. I felt really sorry for Roxy and could feel her pain when horrible stuff happened. The last fight seen was so accurate and emotional. It was amazing.

People who like action and riddles would absolutely love this book.  I know I loved it and I think some adults would love it as well. Ninjas? - check. Fight scene? - check. A big legend? - double check. In my opinion there’s no better ninja book out there.
