Young Samurai is a book, by Chris Bradford, about a boy called Jack who reached the wondrous lands of Japan after a long voyage out at sea. He, his father, and the rest of the crew, are ambushed on their boat by ninjas under the command of an evil Japanese ninja, Dragon Eye!
He is rescued by the legendry sword master, Masamoto Takeshi, who adopts Jack after his son, Tenno, dies. Jack is left with his father’s rutter, which stores all the possible ways, and shortcuts, of the seas! He masters the way of the warrior at Masamoto’s samurai training school and prepares to defeat Dragon Eye!
The next book, after the way of the warrior, is Young Samurai, The way of the Sword! In this book Jack starts to train for the legendry Samurai competition The Circle of Three, in which he has to master ‘the way of the sword’ and, as a result, he completes it, keeping in mind that he was kicked out of the training school!

It's amazing to think that the writer had never visited Japan before he wrote this book. I would love to discover children's books written by Japanese authors that are translated into English.
