Bookroo's summary

Rena, a shy girl with social anxiety, enrolls in a School for Ninjas, only to learn she might be the key to an ancient prophecy. Guided by the enigmatic Dysart, she faces a choice: embrace her destiny as 'The Ghost' or risk being manipulated. Can Rena overcome her fears and restore the Ninja's legacy, or is there more to Dysart's intentions? Her journey is fraught with challenges, both internal and external, as she navigates a world of secrets and potential betrayal. Will she rise to the occasion, or will her anxieties hold her back?

From the publisher

Written by father and daughter duo Riacardo and Adara Sanchez, Shy Ninja is a heart warming tale of a young girl who finds her inner potential while combating the realities of a social anxiety disorder. When a shy adolescent girl enrolls at a local School for Ninjas on a lark, she discovers she may actually be the heir to an ancient prophecy that will return the Ninja to prominence–if she can conquer her fears. Young Rena suffers from social anxiety disorder. It keeps her from engaging at school, from hanging out with her best friend in person, or participating in any sort of group activity. Pressed by her mother to find some social outlet, she enrolls in a School for Ninjas–and in an instant, her life changes. Rena’s instructor, the mysterious Dysart, tells her that her presence fulfills an ancient prophecy and that she will become the Ninja legend known as “The Ghost.” Assuming she can even get past her own anxieties, will she help Dysart return the Ninja to their former glory, or is Dysart planning to exploit Rena for his own cryptic aims?
