(4) 4-6 Samurai Kids series. Illustrated by Rhian Nest James. With the drums of war beating, a band of disabled samurai-in-training, the Cockroach Ryu, sets off to convince the Emperor to maintain peace. Along the way, the youngsters receive help from an unlikely source--the Owl Ninja clan. Some historical details are inaccurate, but struggling readers and fans of the previous book (White Crane) will enjoy the straightforward narrative style.
