Cat Ninja: Wanted

In Book 3 of the hugely popular Cat Ninja series, small-time crooks, sidekicks, and the wannabe supervillains who made our heroes who they are all get a chance to tell their stories––and their stories are hilarious!

Cat Ninja: Wanted features Metro City's favorites and newcomers in tales that include a nearly cat-astrophic case of stolen identity, the not-so-villainous adventures of Master Hamster, and Adonis's first mission as one of the good guys. Enjoy six stand-alone stories, plus a five-part Cat Ninja special miniseries! 

The stories in Cat Ninja: Wanted teach readers that:

  • People (and villains!) can change
  • Everyone deserves a second chance
  • You don't need superpowers to be a hero!
