Summary: The Master Puppeteer
Comment: This book called The Master Puppeteer is about a poor boy name Jiro. Jiro is trying to help is father, so the family won't starve to death. The family needs money to keep alive because back then, things were not that well. A lot of people were in hunger, it is up to Jiro to help out with business. Jiro and his family are in the city of Osaka, that is in Japan. Jiro tris to at a theater and make puppets for the a theater, but sadly Jiro is too clumsy for the job.
There are also friendships and courage along this story...I enjoy reading this book, because he shows me more about Japan and the people who lives there...

Summary: Great Book
Comment: The book, The Master Puppeteer, was about a boy named Jiro and his experience through the life of a poor street boy that is determined to become a great puppet master, though he is clumsy. When he and his father visit the Hanaza with the recently made puppet, the master puppeteer asks the boy to become an apprentice to a current puppeteer. He joins them and he starts his training to become a major puppeteer. His fellow companions are nice, outgoing, and fun. They get into mischief and sometimes get a beating for it, but Jiro is trying to stop Kinshi (his older companion) from going out and helping the night rovers (the group that his poor mother is in). Kinshi, has tried to help Jiro's mother by giving her money and food. But Jiro needs to find the super sleuth, Saburo, so that Saburo can convince Kinshi that he will help the town. Soon later, Jiro is encountered by a man in the storage house, it is Saburo, but he works in the theater. Chaos reigns over the city when the night rovers set the city to flames. Jiro tries to find Kinshi, but it isn't until the chaos has ended that he finds Kinshi. The hanaza is in terror and the Master Puppeteer is in panic of losing it all. He decides to sell the puppeteers as slaves and all is turned loose. The book was suspenseful in parts but a little slow in the beginning but grows more suspenseful, interesting, and involved toward the end of the book
