A boy orders his very own ninja through the mail and uses him to fight the neighborhood bully. It's a lot of fun.

Hilarious little graphic novel on a subject right up my alley: NINJAS! Timmy McAllister orders a ninja through the mail to put the school bullies in their place. Sight gags and puns abound in this silly first installment. Looking forward to part 3!

Fifth grader Timothy James McAllister has a problem with bullies at his school. He wishes he could deal with them the way the ninja in his favorite manga deals with his adversaries. So when he wins the services of his own feudal Japanese warrior for a year, the bullies fall into line. So what’s next? How about the most obnoxiously snobby rich kid in the school?
