Synopsis:
"Young Samurai: The Way of the Warrior" is the first book in this blockbuster series by Chris Bradford. August 1611. Jack Fletcher is shipwrecked off the coast of Japan - his beloved father and the crew lie slaughtered by ninja pirates. Rescued by the legendary sword master Masamoto Takeshi, Jack's only hope is to become a samurai warrior. And so his training begins. But life at the samurai school is a constant fight for survival. Even with his friend Akiko by his side, Jack is singled out by bullies and treated as an outcast. With courage in his heart and his sword held high, can Jack prove himself and face his deadliest rival yet? "A fantastic adventure that floors the reader on page one and keeps them there until the end". (Eoin Colfer). Chris Bradford has trained in karate, kickboxing and samurai swordsmanship. He earned his black belt in Zen Kyo Shin Taijutsu, the secret fighting art of the ninja. Before writing the "Young Samurai" series, he was a professional musician and songwriter and has performed for HRH Queen Elizabeth II.
