It’s time for Duck Creek’s Halloween Fair and Nelson and Kenny have been eating all their vegetables and working out to prepare for it. Last year they weren’t tall enough to go on the scariest rides but they’re determined to be able enjoy them this year.
It’s a good thing Grandma has a brand new invention, a size converter, which she cautions the boys not to use because it still has some kinks. Like accidentally making you smaller when you wanted to be taller. This comes with a unique set of problems.

It wouldn’t be a Ninja Kid book if evil Dr Kane didn’t show up in his helicopter, ready to implement his latest dastardly plan to run everyone out of Duck Creek.

This looks like a job for Ninja Kid and H-Dude!

but they’re still ready to take on Dr Kane and save Duck Creek again.
Grandma, as usual, was the highlight of the book for me. Readers who have been following this series from the beginning are being rewarded for their patience; we’re closer than ever to finding out exactly what happened to Nelson’s father.
Anton Emdin’s illustrations are staying true to the style Jeremy Ley introduced in the early books. The details are fun, the Halloween costumes are imaginative and the fair definitely looks like somewhere I would want to spend Halloween.

Still as fun as the others, but the Dutch translation contains a few errors. An example being the translation of praying mantis to a word meaning locust or grasshopper, which it most certainly isn’t (even though the correct translation is similar; bidsprinkhaan vs. sprinkhaan). Sloppy.

Ik vond het weer een super leuk deel van Ninja kid. Ik vond het grappig dat de maten de hele tijd tussen het boek door veranderde. Ik ben blij dat ik dit boek heb gelezen. Bente (9 jaar)

Book six in the series.
Grandma outdoes herself with her latest invention as Nelson and Kenny get ready for the annual Halloween Fair. Whey they accidently shrink themselves, the expected comedy of errors launches and they end up going to the Fair at half their normal size. Dr. Kane arrives and creates havoc for the Fair goers. Ninja Kid and H-Dude finally arrive to save everyone after Grandma gets there to fix their size. The book is full of action and fun for elementary level readers.

3.5 stars. Although not quite as satisfying as the previous episodes (my expectations for this series have become quite high given its excellence), this is still good simple fun.
The mostly physical way in which they dealt with their nemesis lacked the cleverness usually employed apart from the pushup and the mirrors.

Ninja Kid is great book for children from the ages of 7+

My son adored it! so I thought I would give it a quick read myself!
Its very very funny!
the language level is great for children to practice or learn new words.
Highly recommend.

I really hoped that the squirrel finally has a bigger part, that looks like a character with potential. I was let down again. The squirrel makes an appearance but he doesn't use his Einstein brain. Lost opportunity. My kids continue to like the series.

Always a lot of fun. Quick read with expressive illustrations.

Being small means missing out on all the fun but can grandma make Nelson & Kenny tall enough to ward off Dr Kane. And can Nelson find his dad?

Same plot as the others, just different scenarios. There’s been no obvious character development through the series.
