INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Serwacki, Kevin

Epic Fail

(4) 4-6 Joey and Johnny, the Ninjas series. Illustrated by Chris Pallace. Ninjas-in-training Joey, Johnny, and Peoni must prepare for their most dangerous mission yet: hosting a lethal tea ceremony for the angry spirits of deceased ninjas while fighting sneaky pirates that stand in their way. Although the characters remain superficial and the plot trivial, this second enjoyably campy adventure boasts a Saturday-morning-cartoon vibe, with energetic black-and-white spot art, funny dialogue, and gleefully exaggerated action.
