After numerous adaptations, book series and merchandise spin-offs, America’s favorite “heroes in the half shell” are back with the August 8 release of Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. To celebrate, Barnes & Noble Valencia is hosting a Turtles – Jr. Ninja Training Academy Event, on Saturday, August 9th, including exciting activities and crafts, plus a fun-filled Ninja Training event, where participants will be trained as ninjas and receive a special Jr. Ninja Training Academy certificate.
