Rise of the red ninjas

the long version

My name is Chase Cooper, and this is my third diary as a 6th grade ninja. Another month has passed since my last entry and things have been pretty quiet up until now. It all started when some kid stole my book bag. The mudslide of disaster that followed has made this the worst week of my life. From being number one on Buchanan School's most wanted list to the discovery of the red ninja clan, I can't seem to catch a break! But as much as I want to give in, I know that ninjas never quit ... unfortunately, neither do their enemies.
