Book Synopsis

Cowabunga, dudes! This hilarious original novel is filled with comics, mischief, and action starring The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Splinter's Dojo takes the turtles to class at the most radical middle school around.

These out-of-control turtles need structure, routine, discipline... somewhere that will hold them accountable. Where could that be? Middle school, of course! And what better place for a school for mutant than the sewers of New York, with a faculty and student body full of fan favorites from the world of TMNT? Can these Turtles get their act together and become true ninjas? And just what are Rocksteady and Bebop -- henchmen of the turtles' archenemy Shredder -- doing in class with the rest of their peers?

Told through a mix of comics panels, artifacts, and text, this highly illustrated novel from the author/illustrator team of Barb the Last Berzerker is sure to be a totally tubular hit with middle grade readers.
