That’s so ninja! Epic Fail is the second book in the insanely funny and action-packed Joey and Johnny, the Ninjas series about two best friends and ninjas-in-training—perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Origami Yoda.

Things are getting back to normal at Kickfoot Academy after its Battle Royal with rival ninja school Red Moon Clan—for the most part. Joey and Johnny soon discover that their friend Peoni is secretly planning a tea ceremony—one of the most dangerous events a ninja can attend—to appease the spirits of ninjas past. Sounds like the perfect mission for Joey and Johnny!

Eager to put their ninja skills to the test and set off on a new quest, the boys invite themselves along on Peoni’s journey to hunt down important items for the party. But it quickly becomes clear that there is a lot more in store for these young ninjas than tea. . . .

      Ninja tea ceremony: hot tea, sweet cakes, terrified screams, certain death.... Bumbling ninja buddies Joey and Johnny and their female friend (and rival) Peoni return for a second epic adventure (Get Mooned, 2015). After destroying the training arena at Kick Foot Academy, where they study, the boys have spent the summer rebuilding it (poorly). Just as the ribbon's cut and frightening headmaster FangSwan tests the construction's reliability with the weight of adorable kittens, the whole thing's destroyed by dragons. Battle ensues! But wait...the dragons have just returned with wayward star student Brad; destruction + bloodshed = unfortunate misunderstandings. But when Peoni's tasked with performing the tea ceremony (in which one misstep means horrid death), Joey and Johnny can't let her do it alone...even if she wants to. Unfortunately, evil Scar EyeFace's intent on their demise, as are dimension-hopping pirates, mobile trees, and assorted woodland fauna. Serwacki and Pallace serve up a plump feast of foolishness that could have used some trimming; aside from the aforementioned, their ninjas tangle or hang with superheroes, probable witches, and vengeful ghosts. The prose seems to aspire to Pratchett but gets a bit lost in convolutions. Still, there's many a good giggle for fans. Final abundant art and one comic-strip sequence not seen. An open end promises more martial arts mischief in Volume 3...it's hard to imagine what trope's yet untapped, though. (Adventure. 9-12)

      Ninjas-in-training Joey, Johnny, and Peoni must prepare for their most dangerous mission yet: hosting a lethal tea ceremony for the angry spirits of deceased ninjas while fighting sneaky pirates that stand in their way. Although the characters remain superficial and the plot trivial, this second enjoyably campy adventure boasts a Saturday-morning-cartoon vibe, with energetic black-and-white spot art, funny dialogue, and gleefully exaggerated action.
