For the young fans of Naruto, I must say, the Naruto light novels are a must read. Masatoshi Kusakabe has written these two novels, which Viz has brought into America, translating them from the original Japanese version to English one.
The story line of the first novel is based on the first arc of the TV show. If you recall, it was the one which ignited this whole Naruto phenomenon. This particular book which came into America on 21st November, 2006 (Much later than its original version came in Japanese on 16th December, 2002), was named, Naruto: Innocent Heart, Demonic Blood.

The next one was named Naruto: Mission: Protect the Waterfall Village! And its content is all related to the second arc of the series. It was released in the States on 16th October, 2007. This one has done an amazing business and some reports I read, say it has done much more business than the first one.
If anyone of you has missed it, I think you surely should read it. These books also make up for great gifts for young people these days. What better present than a book, and what better book I say, than a Naruto one?

These were the Japanese novels, which were translated in English. Now Viz has started a series of novels which are authored by Tracey West. Named Chapter Books, these have illustrations which have been picked from the manga series of Naruto. Even though its target readership is kids between seven to ten years of age, I am not at all apologetic about reading the same.
But have you people read these books? Or your children or cousins, siblings etc? We would love to hear your views and reviews on these wonderful books.
