Editorial Reviews: When fourteen-year-old samurai apprentice Seikei is sent on a mission by the shogun, he believes it to be a simple one: Convince the 14-year-old emperor to resume his ceremonial duties. But when the emperor is kidnapped in an elaborate plot to overthrow the Shogun, Seikei’s mission grows much more dangerous. With the help of a mysterious warrior, he must rescue the emperor before his sacred sword—said to be unbeatable in battle—falls into the wrong hands. Should he fail, bloodshed will stain the land.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Mystery with twists and turns Comment: Another in the series about Seikei, the foster son of a judge in 18th century Japan. Seikei must travel to the emporer, who is 14, and talk the emporer into resuming his duties. Along the way Seikei hears of a plot to overthrow the shogun but he deems it implausible. As in the other books in this series, the plot twists and turns to a satisfying conclusion. In order to fully understand this book, reading the others is a must. The Hooblers introduce the reader to a culture that may be new and mysterious in itself, without the actual mystery. The series is very popular among 5th and 6th graders. More Reviews
