REVIEWS

"Luka is an appealing character whose determination and facility with the martial arts are balanced by humor and a healthy dose of pre-adolescent competitiveness. . . . The language is colloquial, even earthy, and helps to maintain the work's sense of fun."
Kirkus Reviews


From the Hardcover edition.
