Niya is training to be a samurai in the Cockroach Ryu. All the members of the group have a disability of some kind - Niya has only one leg, Mikko has only one arm, Taji is blind, and so on. They have an amazing teacher, and he trains them hard as they prepare for the annual samurai competition. They know it is impossible to win, but if they can just get the better of the awful Dragon Ryu in some events they will be happy. I enjoyed this book because it gave me some understanding of what it is like to be different, and what makes people whole in the first place. I recommend it highly.
Who would enjoy this? This book is easy to read, but makes you think about things you might not have thought about before - does that sound like you?
