Here’s a peek at the latest book in the series, Ninjago 5: Kingdom of the Snakes, which is available now from finer booksellers everywhere. Enjoy!

The younger kids in my school, in grades 1-3, love Ninjago. The 2nd graders swarmed over the 5 volumes this past Friday and borrowed all of them.
Yes, my niece and nephew are huge fans as well! Can’t get too much Lego!
That’s high praise — the kids in Kat’s school have excellent taste in comics!
