Kata is one of the best employees of a master thief until he sells her to Madame Chiyome, the woman who trained Kata as a ninja. It turns out that Madame Chiyome has been hired by Kata's enemy, Saiko, to capture Kata and the magical pearl she possesses. But while escaping her enemies, Kata puts her trusted group of friends in danger. Should Kata stay loyal to her mission, as a true ninja would, or to her friends? Can Kata trust the fellow thief who says he is in love with her and wants to help her? The themes of trust versus independence underlie each of Kata's decisions as she tries to get the pearl out of Japan to weaken the demon within it. As Kata faces one obstacle after another, including a wide range of supernatural creatures, she is tempted to make a wish to save herself, even though could it be the last wish, the one that frees the demon and lets him take her soul. Will her sense of duty and honor prevail against all odds? 650 0 $a Ninja $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Demonology $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Japan $x History $y Tokugawa period, 1600-1868 $v Juvenile fiction. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240202022011.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1E443400BF9311E7812CC30897128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
