H i ! H a t t i e J a c k s o n h e r e .
 Thank you for visiting my website.
I never thought I'd do anything worth writing about, let alone having my own website people might read. But what a year it's been.... My mum went missing, my dad had a meltdown and I discovered I was the last in line to a ninjutsu legacy nearly a thousand years old! I learned skills I never would have thought I could master and I met some amazing new friends - as well as truly terrifying enemies. AND NOW! Book 1 - The Revenge of Praying Mantis - has been shortlisted for a Portsmouth Book Award! And Moira Briggs of Vulpes Libris chose Hattori Hachi: The Revenge of Praying Mantis as one of her top two books of 2009! Thanks, Moira - that made me very happy!
 "As I turned, Mad Dog shouted, 'Hattie - RUN!'
Shadowy figures were filling the room. The graffiti on the walls wasn't graffiti at all - it was real people throwing strange animal shadows and now it looked like they were PEELING OFF THE WALLS."
Buy the book
- from Amazon UK When that story ended I had no idea of the adventures that were still in store for me. I had plans for a lazy, relaxing summer holiday after my GCSEs. No such luck. But what happened instead, you can read all about soon in book two, Hattori Hachi: Stalking the Enemy. It's available in June and you can pre-order it, or join my mailing list if you want news of upcoming events! Hattori Hachi was launched in July 2009 at Daunt Books in South End Green, London.
As we were gathering ninja clothes and weapons, my biographer Jane Prowse told us about how she narrowly avoided getting classified as a terrorist for trying to import nijitsu climbing claws from America! If you want to read more about what happened, take a look at my ninja tools and weapons page.
Here's a few things about my biographer Jane, as well. She worked in TV and sometimes theatre until she decided to write her first book - Hattori Hachi: The Revenge of the Praying Mantis.
 Happy reading and remember - A Ninja's spirit is as sharp as the edge of a blade!
