[Book Review] Young Samurai #3 – The Way of the Dragon
As the story continues, a great battle occurs; many dies and many who sacrifice their lives for the living (people who they held dear).
There were touching scenes that had let a tear or two roll down my cheeks.
Anyway, this book is way more thrilling than the previous two. And I would say that I loved it and had read it more than twice already!

[Book Review] Young Samurai #2 – The Way of the Sword
Summary
After a vicious ninja attack left him orphaned
and stranded in Japan, Jack Fletcher managed to complete his first year of
samurai school. Still, his troubles are far from over. The prejudice of his Japanese
classmates has gained him dangerous enemies within his school, and Dragon Eye
-- the ninja who killed his father -- is still after him. Jack's only hope of

tests a samurai's courage, skill, and spirit to the limit. For most, gaining
entry into the Circle means honor and glory, but for Jack it's a matter of life
or death.

Only Jack survives and his father leaves him with his prized possession, a
rutter (a precursor to the modern navigation chart).
Jack is rescued by legendary samurai swordsman Masamoto Takeshi who decides to adopt

discovers that the leader of the ninja was known as
