Shonen Jump Manga proudly presents a book by Masashi Kishimoto a story about a young ninja named Naruto on his way to be a Ninja. The book is chocked full of Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Martial Arts, and a hint of Romance added in between. In Test of a ninja shows the background of Naruto and how the people surrounding him treat him. During the Day of his Ninja examination Naruto completely flunks the exam and doesn’t earn the right to be a ninja-or does he? In the next section we introduce 2 other main Characters Sakura Haruno and Sauske Uchiha making up Squad 7 lead by Kakashi Hatake. Near the end Nartuto, Sakura, and Sauske are put under a vicious training exercise to see if they have indeed earned the title of being called a ninja or head back to the academy. Only 2 out of 3 of them will be able to pass-Who will make it and who will be sent back?

I greatly recommend this novel for middle scholars because it shows how hard work and determination can take you far in the world. Having the sense of making it big in the world is everyone’s dream but no one can hand it to you, you have to work for it to earn your place. This book is for all ages, not only does it show life lessons but it also delivers a great deal of entertainment and Action. So look this book up and hope you enjoy this series as much as I did.
