The Battle Brawlers (Bakugan, Book 1)

Bakugan Battle Brawlers . . . ready to save this world . . . and the next!

One day, strange cards began to fall from the sky. All over the world, kids picked them up and created a battle game. The best players were Dan, Marucho, Runo, Shun, Julie and Alice. They called the monsters on the cards "Bakugans" and their team the "Bakugan Battle Brawlers".
