Niki Dawson didn’t mean to do it. She was playing with her friends at school when she landed in a bush. The school caretaker isn’t happy at one of his well cared for plants being trampled, but what lies under it changes everything.

Niki has found a strang purple rock in the dirt uner the bush. Alerting the caretaker brings a specialist from the local museum to check it out and trasport it to where it can be studied more closely.

When Niki starts feeling weird, and her cat begins acting strangely, she is perplexed.

But there is much more to come for Niki, her school and her parets. The strange gem attracts a super villain and much mayhem is about to follow with extraordinary results.

A new series from Anh Do – Ninja Girl is in full colour and packed with intrigue, fun, action and super powers.

Not only are there strange things happening at home, at school and in town – Niki discovers a secret her parents have been keeping, that might just explain what’s been happening to her.
