Synopsis: Driven mad by poverty, the death of her father, and the ruthless streets of North Seattle’s Lake City, twelve-year-old Gabriela Urieta puts on her ski-mask at night and becomes Ninja Girl. In her own mind, she’s a superhero—the only hope for cleaning up her neighborhood. In reality, she’s a sixth-grader who drugs her little brother to sleep so she can sneak out at night and rob criminals.Using money taken from her victims, Gaby hires a transient as her sidekick, naming him “Wallman.” Together they get lost in her comic-book fantasy. But before long, Ninja Girl and her family find themselves in all sorts of danger.She’s small, she’s angry, she’s trained in mixed martial arts—and she’s only twelve.

Review: I thought the book did well to touch on really dark topics and it was a great action book. Like seriously, if you're looking for action then this is your book. The book also had a well done storyline.

However, the characters weren't well developed and the plot was a bit weird. It was just confusing and I didn't understand the characters motives.

Verdict: It was good, just a bit weird.
