Don't Mess with the Ninja Puppy!

Magic Bone #6

by Nancy E. Krulik, Sebastien Braun (Illustrations)

When Sparky's magic bone blasts him to Tokyo, Japan, he discovers a whole new world--one with karaoke, "squishy fishy" and sumo wrestlers! His new friend, an Akita named Nanami, guides him around the city, until Sparky loses her in a crowd. But it turns out Nanami isn't just any Akita. She's the queen of the Ninja Dogs--a fierce group who are convinced that Sparky has kidnapped her! To make matters worse, the Ninja Dogs have Sparky's magic bone, and won't return it until he leads them to Nanami. It's up to Sparky to reunite the Ninja Dog family so he can return home to his own!

This book starts of in the first person view of josh's, dog sparky. Who is alone at home and bored. The dog bites on a magical bone in his backyard and is transported. This book is really good for young kids because it has a good amount of pages but the letters are really big. I read this book because I needed to read 30 pages for my English class and I decided that I will just read this.
