[Book Review] Young Samurai #6 – The Ring of Fire

I've been for such a long time for this book to come out! Well, to be honest... I kind of think that the 5th book is a bit childish. Dunno, is it only me getting older or is is the book is kind of a bit of kiddies. Anyway, stepping that aside (well, it is children's li, the story very interesting. It's heart warming to see Jack being reunited with his friends. And there're also a lot of tragic cases and scenes that robs your heart. When I read the the Ring of Fire, reading Jack and his friends plotting, making strategies, advancing and so on, I felt just like being with them!

Summary

After a snowstorm forces him to take shelter, Jack comes across a village in need of protection from raiding mountain bandits. Torn between moving on or helping, Jack is persuaded to stay and fight the villagers' cause.

But Jack is the first and only samurai to do so. Now he must enlist other warriors to the villagers' aid before the bandits return to steal their harvest. No easy task when the reward is so little and he is a foreigner. If only he had his friends to call on . . .

Using the Ring of Fire, can Jack overpower the bandits and win?
