First sentence:
Hello maskPremise/plot: Ten ninjas are on a quest for TACO TREASURE. But will the Samurai get there first and take the tacos?
Hello boots
Hello ninjas
wearing suits
My thoughts: If I had to sum it up in one word: CONFUSED. Clearly the book is teaching math facts--the ways to get to ten. 1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5. Clearly the book is doing this with NINJAS--ninja terms and themes. Clearly the author must love tacos--who doesn't love tacos? The book has humorous moments--a twist ending that resolves everything amicably. I'm just not sure it's for me. Then again, I am NOT the target audience in the first place.
