The girls knew their father was rich and successful, but Moira discovers much more about KogaTech Consolidated when the will leaves the entire company to her. Moira, the middle sister, is closest to their dad in a lot of ways. It takes a little while for the three girls to develop as individual characters, but when they do, there are some sweet sibling moments. There are also realistic struggles with school bullying and family sorrows.
This is a fun, dramatic YA story suitable for an advanced middle-grades reader too, The vocab is a bit advanced for MG but there’s nothing inappropriate or too mature for a middle-school reader. There’s a lot of action and warmth in this modern-day ninja adventure. It’s an exciting adventure story, but the story is propelled by sisterly love and affection.
