Derek becomes a ninja-in-training in Book 6 of the bestselling My Life series by Janet Tashjian
Derek Fallon has expanded his taste in cartoons to the world of manga and anime. Together with his friends Carly, Matt, and Umberto, Derek has fun learning about all the cool aspects of ninja culture. When someone starts vandalizing their school with graffiti of a mischievous troll-like figure, these ninjas-in-training are convinced they'll be able to crack the case.

For once, can he be the hero that saves the day? Find out in the sixth illustrated installment of the beloved middle-grade series!

My Life as a Book:
A 2011 Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year
Sure to engage fans of Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid books as well as those looking for a spunky, contemporary boy with a mystery to solve. —School Library Journal My Life as a Stuntboy:
Another fun, emotionally resonant read for the Wimpy Kid set and beyond. —Kirkus Reviews A fast-moving plot and relatable protagonist make this stand-alone sequel a good choice for boys who, like Derek, would rather reach for a TV remote or game controller than a book. —School Library Journal Fans of the first will be utterly delighted by this sequel and anxious to see what Jake will turn up as next. —The Bulletin This is a great package for kids, especially those like Derek who don't think they like to read. —Booklist
