This one was right up Noah’s street a book about (what is for all intense and purposes) a superhero young boy and his sidekick cat!

Mr 6 gives it 9/10. Fun imaginative story. Missing a start as I found the rhyme a bit awkward in place or wordy. Fun though

Enjoyed Midnight Ninja so much that I had to create a record for it on Goodreads, something which I've never had the honour of doing before! This was read to us at last week's Waterstones storytime, and although my daughter stopped paying attention after the first half (recently she has been far more interested in trying to sneak all of the toys off of the shelves...) I found this one very entertaining. With the Midnight Ninja and his cat doing karate moves all over the majority of the pages, it's very easy to get little ones excitable and joining in during this story, so it's probably not the best bedtime read, but it's certainly a fun story.
