But when trouble arises, he dons his mask and springs into action as Cat Ninja—Metro City's secret protector! Follow Cat Ninja, Master Hamster, and a colourful cast of friends and foes in volumes 1-3 of the Kirkus-starred series:
Book 1: Cat Ninja
Follow our feline hero’s early exploits as he tries to keep his secret identity under wraps while thwarting the evil plans of slimy crooks, rampaging robots, and a certain rodent nemesis who lives under the same roof!
Book 2: Time Heist
When Leon brings a mystery egg home from school, Cat Ninja and Master Hamster face their biggest challenge yet: babysitting! And while they’re pretty sure they can keep an egg out of trouble, they know they’re in over their heads when that egg hatches into a high-energy ball of feathers and cuteness. It’s baby’s first superhero adventure when they decide to bring their newest family member along as they uncover the identity—and nefarious motives—of Metro City’s latest foe.
Book 3: Wanted
Metro City's favourites and newcomers share the spotlight in tales that include a nearly cat-astrophic case of stolen identity, the not-so-villainous adventures of Master Hamster, and Adonis's first mission as one of the good guys.
