Way of the Ninja One day, an army of skeletons shows up in Kai's town and heads straight for his father's blacksmith shop. Kai fights them valiantly, but the skeletons destroy the shop and kidnap his sister. A mysterious old man, Sensei Wu, explains that the skeletons are part of a centuries-old fight between good and evil-and that it is Kai's destiny to join the battle. To rescue his sister from the sinister forces controlling the skeletons, Kai must team up with three other young ninjas to learn the ancient art of Spinjitzu.
Masters of Spinjitzu Cole, Jay, Kai, and Zane have come together for a mission-to defeat Lord Garmadon! But first they must recover the Golden Weapons that were hidden away long ago. With Sensei Wu's help, they find the weapons. But can they get past the weapons' fiery guardian?
The Golden Weapons In this easy-to-read story, the ninjas try to obtain the final golden weapon. With Sensei Wu by their side, they journey to the underworld and come face to face with their sworn enemy, Lord Garmadon!
Rise of the Snakes Just when it seemed peace was at hand in the land of Ninjago, a new evil has arisen! Lloyd Garmadon, the son of Lord Garmadon, has woken the Serpentine, a race of snake-headed beasts who've been banished for centuries. It's up to Cole, Jay, Kai, and Zane to face this new challenge with their trademark humorous, kick-butt attitude.
A Ninja's Path Quiet Zane isn't like the other ninja. His weird humor sometimes gets him in trouble with Cole, Kay, and Kai--especially when he leads the ninja into a mission that ends in the destruction of their home in Sensei Wu's monastery. Now Zane must hope that a new path will rise from the monastery's ashes....
Pirates vs Ninja When Lord Garmadon accidentally brings to life the original owners of the ninjas' ship, the Destiny's Bounty, it's bound to be an epic battle! Can Cole, Jay, Kai, Zane, and Lloyd stop the pirates from plundering Ninjago City?
