A Game of Chase

Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja #4

by Marcus Emerson, Noah Child

My name is Chase Cooper, and this is my fourth diary as a 6th grade ninja. A few weeks have breezed by since my last entry, but things don't stay quiet at my school for long. The science fair is coming up, and everyone's been working crazy hard to get their projects finished on time. But at the beginning of the week, projects started disappearing only to be found later completely destroyed. Did I mention the anonymous invitation I got that sent me on a messed up treasure hunt in search of the missing projects? Yeah, that happened too. Now the fate of the science fair rests in my hands as I try to stay one step ahead of the culprit in the most bizarre week of my life.

Reviews

[Brandon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think that this was a great book in the Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja series. I liked it because of all the action packed and suspenseful moments. One example of an action packed moment is when Chase was chasing Jovial Noise through the science fair. An example of a suspenseful moment is when Chase had to find Zoe's project before it was destroyed. If you want to know who Jovial Noise is and if he/she is caught you'll have to read the book. I recommend this book to action lovers.

Нинджа неволите на Чейс Купър продължават! В „Партия шах”, четвъртата книжка от поредицата „Дневникът на един нинджа”, Чейс Купър отново има интересен случай, който да ни разказва в записките си. В училище „Бюканън” усилено текат подготовките за научното изложение, но ненадейно проектите на приятелите на Чейс потъват вдън земя. Мистериозният похитител оставя след себе си бележки, придружени от шахматни фигури... Какво значи всичко това?! Прочетете ревюто на "Книжни Криле":

Маневри преди научната изложба
(Цялото ревю е тук: https://knijenpetar.wordpress.com/201...)

Вече имам представа от стила на Емерсън и не се колебая дали да продължавам с тази веселяшка училищна история. В съвременната детска литература обикновено се срещат два основни елемента, които биха заинтригували хлапетата. Приключението и хуморът вървят ръка за ръка и са основната причина децата да посягат към книгите. Ако пък сюжетът се завърта около някое училище, вниманието няма как да не бъде привлечено. Поредицата „Дневникът на един нинджа“ наистина има какво да предложи в този аспект. Ако трябва да съм сериозен, самият аз често се заинтригувам и минавам през страниците, както правех това на по-крехка възраст. В предишните си ревюта вече писах за ползите от подобни книги, така че тук няма да се разпростирам нашироко. „Партия шах“ („Хермес“, 2018, с превод на Коста Сивов) пък продължава да развива историята около Чейс Купър и цялата банда негови съученици и приятели, като добавя по нещо ново, за да я има интригата. Както се казва: нинджи, нинджи, ама и те се изчервяват от време на време, така че нещата опират главно до междуличностните отношения. 😉

Nei corridoi della scuola Buchanan sembra che sia tornata finalmente la pace. Ma Chase Cooper sa che il nemico trama nell’ombra e agisce quando meno te lo aspetti, perciò meglio tenersi pronti! Nel frattempo, alcuni progetti dei ragazzi di prima media sono stati rubati, e proprio alla vigilia dell’importante Fiera di Scienze della scuola. Al loro posto, un misterioso ladro lascia pezzi degli scacchi. https://ilmondodichri.com/un-ninja-al...

This story is exactly as the title says it is a game of chase like a wild duck hunt. There are clues leading to something mysterious. If the main character is not fast enough to solve these clues something terrible will happen.

[Cris · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the fourth book in the series. The sixth graders are getting ready for the science fair but Jovial Noise has another plan! Can Chase save the fair? I love a good mystery. I really love Chase who has a heart of gold.

[Clayton · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ninja Fun!

This series of books is both funny and thrilling!
As my niece and I read these books together, we can’t wait to find out who the villain is and have the mystery solved.
Bravo!

[Krista Dockery · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was really good. It brought a whole new character (villain) in the mix. I like how the book has a mystery and a conflict that Chase has to figure out and work through. It shows his good character and in the face of hard times he sticks to his morals.

[Ganesh Vedarajan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really good and I loved the ninjas and how adventurous Chase was

I think this book was written perfectly because it was really adventurous and I love ninjas cause' they are cool.

[Hector villa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thrilling and exciting I love this series

Because it has action and mystery. These are the kind of things that get kids into books and my son said he loved the book, too.

[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lame, but appropriate ninja stories attract middle school aged readers. Author repeatedly misuses objective case pronouns: "he gave it to her and i" etc.

[Adam Christy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great

Great book recommend for everyone bet the next ones will keep getting better. Suggest especially for middle schoolers who love ninjas

[Karl Woodhouse · Rating 4 out of 5]

Could benefit from another edit

Fun book like the others in the series but a few too many typos creeping in. Otherwise it's a good read.

[Joel R Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good

It was good and a lot of fun. Can’t wait for the next one. Ninja are the most awesome ever

[Elyas]

it's nice because the science project destroyed was the person he least expected, his lab partner

[Dill · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finished it ninja books easy and quick to read but THIS IS THE BEST

[Valisha McFarlane · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it ,couldn't stop laughing!!!

I chose this rating because I just loved the book. It was hilarious and had some unexpected turns. I would recommend this book to someone who loves to laugh and really likes ninjas and suspense.

[Dewey]

My opinion on this book is its a good book because its about a kid that is ninja and he has to get through all the enemys and he has sidekicks by his side and they are tying to catch the villin that did everything
