Sneaking silently through the stillness of a sleeping house, a ninja is intent on a treasure hunt. Through shadowy, dynamic paper-and-fabric collages, he stealthily leaps, prowls, creeps, and clambers toward his goal. Immersed in the quiet darkness of the journey, readers will be startled when the lights suddenly flash on, revealing the ninja's true identity. Though he's busted before he can complete his mission, the cosy resolution to this quietly suspenseful tale is satisfying enough that kids won't mind. Picture books newsletter, November 2013
