Young Samurai: The Way of the Sword

Jack Fletcher, a young English boy rescued after a shipwreck, is now a student at a samurai school in Japan, learning the Way of the Sword. He faces grueling trials fighting blindfolded, mastering the bo staff, and decoding messages hidden in origami all while enduring the pressure of being a foreigner. When the school announces a competition that will award the winner Masamoto-sama's secret martial arts technique, Jack knows it could be the key to protecting his father's precious rutter from the deadly ninja Dragon Eye. With rivals like Kazuki and his gang vying for the prize, Jack must summon all his skill and courage to survive the contest and outwit his enemy.
