(3) 4-6 Samurai Kids series. Illustrated by Rhian Nest James. Fourteen-year-old samurai-in-training Niya Moto has only one leg; his fellow students have similar disabilities. Under the tutelage of a legendary sensei, the group confidently participates in the Samurai Games. Issues of historical accuracy aside, this story of kids overcoming odds in feudal Japan is positive and engaging. Illustrations at the beginning of chapters and scattered throughout add a period feel to the tale. Glos.
