Cat Ninja 02 Time Heist

Ages 8 to 10

From Epic Originals comes an action-packed graphic novel series about a new breed of superhero. Return to Metro City's furry underbelly in this exciting follow-up to Kirkus-starred Cat Ninja volume 1!

When Leon brings a mystery egg home from school, Cat Ninja and Master Hamster face their biggest challenge yet: babysitting! And while they’re pretty sure they can keep an egg out of trouble, they know they’re in over their heads when that egg hatches into a high-energy ball of feathers and cuteness. It’s baby’s first superhero adventure when they decide to bring their newest family member along as they uncover the identity—and nefarious motives—of Metro City’s latest foe.

Through the shared adventures of these former adversaries, kids learn the importance of:

• Using your powers—super or not!—to stand up for those who need your help

• Family, in all its forms

• Second chances
