LEGO Ninjago, masters of Spinjitzu

Jay, a member of Sensei Wu's team of ninja warriors has an unfailing sense of humor, even in the toughest battles, but his laughing at danger may backfire on him, in chapter-book format.

"When Master Wui's ninja put their heads together, they can accomplish anything. Welcome to the Ninjago world, the home of Kai, Cole, Jay, Zane, Lloyd, and Nya. Whether they're battling Elemental Masters in a secret arena, defeating ghosts out to corrupt the innocent, or fighting an ancient Djinn and his band of sky pirates, one thing is for sure--these ninja sure know how to save the day!"--Back cover.

"Pythor P. Chumsworth, the last of the Anacondrai, has shed his skin many times. The ninja have defeated him over and over again, but somehow Pythor always manages to bounce back. When Pythor hears about the BorgWatch, a top secret new invention from Dr. Cyrus Borg, he sees an opportunity to best the ninja in a new and different way. He swipes part of the BorgWatch from under their noses and threatens to reveal it on TV. Catching Pythor should be a simple matter for six Masters of Spinjitzu, right? But Pythor is as slippery as a, er, snake. Can the ninja stop their longtime enemy before he slithers his way into the spotlight?"--From the publisher's web site.

Sensei Wu trains Jay, the lightning ninja, in the ancient art of Spinjitzu as part of his team of ninja warriors.

"It's up to the ninja to save the world again. First, they'll battle hordes of ghosts, Morro, and the immense evil of the Preeminent. Then, they'll have to break out of jail to save the world from the evil Djinn Nadakhan and his band of sky pirates. And in between, they'll be trying to outrun... fan girls?! That's right"--Back cover.

"Dareth, the Brown Ninja, is a legend in his own slick, smooth-talking way. He's always been there to help the ninja navigate the ups and downs of celebrity life. Since Cole, Jay, Kai, Lloyd, Nya, and Zane defeated the Preeminent, their fame has exploded. Dareth considers it his duty to help the ninja make the most of their big moment--even if it means creating a few photo ops on his own. But when one of his stunts backfires, Dareth finds himself in a hot mess...surrounded by some of the biggest, baddest guys in the land! Can he tap into his own true potential to save the day?"--Back cover.

Returning from a confrontation with Sensei Wu, Spinjitzu masters Zane, Cole, Jay, and Kai consider an uncertain future of new enemies and greater obstacles including a mysterious snake tribe.

Nothing's been the same since Zane sacrificed himself to save Ninjago from the Overlord, the team has divided and only Lloyd remains true to the ninja's mission of protecting Ninjago. But things change when the four friends are invited to Master Chen's island to compete in a tournament, and they believe Zane is alive somewhere on the island.

The ninja are getting closer to finding Zane, Cole is working underground in Master Chen's noodle factory and he's plotting to break out, and Jay, Kai and Lloyd are still competing in the tournament -- trying to figure out which of their competitors is spying on them.

"Nya has always been a key part of the ninja's success, whether she's organizing operations from the Destiny's Bounty or fighting bad guys in her Samurai X mech. Cole, Jay, Kai, Lloyd, and Zane depend on Nya's fierce intelligence and awesome battle skills. Now that Nya's a full-fledged ninja--the Master of Water--she's got more to offer the team than ever before. So when a call for help comes in, she decides to give the guys a night off. After all, what could go wrong? As it turns out, a whole lot! The new ninja might be a little too independent. Can Nya figure out how to work together and take one for the team?"--Back cover.
