When Leon brings a mystery egg home from school, Cat Ninja and Master Hamster face their biggest challenge yet: babysitting! And while they’re pretty sure they can keep an egg out of trouble, they know they’re in over their heads when that egg hatches into a high-energy ball of feathers and cuteness.

It’s baby’s first superhero adventure when they decide to bring their newest family member along as they uncover the identity – and nefarious motives – of Metro City’s latest foe.

Cat Ninja: Time Heist takes readers on a thrilling journey, full of excitement and unexpected turns.
