So are you ready for a cosmic crisis? "Thousands of asteroids pass Ninjago every year, and no one gives them a second thought. After all, they’re just hunks of space rock..."
Or so they thought, that is until they end up stranded on an asteroid. You do know that there are not any grocery stores on asteroids, but of course that will be the least of their challenges. Who sabotaged their rocket? Who would be willing to plant the missing Framastat on Kai? Or was it Jay? Wait... no, it's an imposter! Just what is going on?
"Anything that travels can carry a passenger."
Are you ready... I wasn't ready for all of the fun with these stranded Ninjago space masters. The graphics are lively, the characters are quite silly, and the evil Nindroids are so frustrating. This is a perfect opportunity to share the joy of space travel as you are zipping around to save the Ninjago world.
Do you remember reading the Sunday comics? How when you read the silliest comic block, you just had to read it out loud to someone else? Remember how much fun you had sharing those great snippets of entertaining conversations, so animated... so humorous... so well crafted! This is one of those great advantages for having an eBook... you can share it over and over!
I've not read this series before but I have read a book from Papercutz's other LEGO series and really liked it so was looking forward to this and was not disappointed. I'm quite amazed at how serious and well written a saga this is. Jumping in at volume 11 didn't cause me any problems but it is obvious this is an ongoing story as it began with a bit of a flashback to get the reader up-to-date. Ninjago are ninjas in space and a whole heck of fun. If you like ninjas, the only thing better could be ninjas in space. LOL. The story was impressive for what initially appears to be a simple kids book. LEGO? You say. Yes, LEGO. A very exciting, well-plotted, story with the gang stranded on an asteroid to find they are not alone and the presence does not wish them well. Lovely art, a fun read. I'd certainly go back and catch up with the series. Young LEGO fans will be delighted.
