Benedict Jacka’s Ninja series follows three siblings who run away from home to escape their father, a dangerous criminal who wants them to join his operations. The story takes the children into a world of martial arts training and survival. Jacka drew heavily on his own years of studying ninjutsu while at Cambridge, and the books carry that firsthand knowledge of discipline and combat.

Before Jacka became known for his popular Alex Verus urban fantasy series, these two children’s novels were among his earliest published work. The books combine action sequences with coming-of-age themes as the young protagonists learn to rely on each other and their training. Readers who enjoy martial arts fiction aimed at younger audiences will find the Ninja series a quick, entertaining read.
