Debut author\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/arree.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Arree Chung<\/a>\u00a0has definitely figured out the perfect combination for a knock-out punch indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Our courageous ninja begins in his father&#8217;s closet (who surely has a penchant for purple attire), where he finds the perfect polka-dotted headband to inspire his next mission. He &#8220;sneaks, creeps, tumbles, hides, and is fast on his feet.&#8221; His obstacles are many\u00a0\u2013 from the actual to the imaginary (dragons unite!). He&#8217;s got quite an ambitious plan &#8230; but as long as he &#8220;believe[s] in his ability to rebound and overcome all challenges,&#8221; success is just around the corner. Right??!!<\/p>\n<p>Well &#8230; so Mommy might have an alternative\u00a0opinion about how it all goes down (thank goodness Baby Sister is still teachable, ahem!), but then life is\u00a0all about perspective, right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers<\/strong>: Children<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published<\/strong>: 2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The text here is all about serious preparation (&#8220;a thick ninja stick&#8221;), effective tactics (&#8220;must master the element of &#8230; SURPRISE!&#8221;), and show proper follow-through on reaching the ultimate goal (&#8220;must &#8230; remain undetected, and find the sacred cup&#8221;).
