Description:
Author/illustrator Jeffrey Brown returns in the highly anticipated sequel to the NY Times Bestseller Star Wars: Jedi Academy!
It's time to return to middle school in a galaxy far, far away. . . .
After surviving his first year at Jedi Academy, Roan Novachez thought his second year would be a breeze. He couldn't have been more wrong. Roan feels like he's drifting apart from his friends, and it's only made worse when Roan discovers he's not the amazing pilot he thought he'd be. When the school bullies take him under their wing, he decides they aren't so bad after all--or are they?
This year, Roan will have to face alien poetry tests, menacing robots, food fights, flight simulation class, online bullies, more lightsaber duels, and worst of all . . . a girl who is mad at him.
This incredible, original story captures all of the humor, awkwardness, fun, and frustrations of middle school--all told through one boy's comics, journal entries, letters, sketches, e-mails, and more.
Rating: 3 1/2 stars
Review:
This is a really cute story.
Roan's school adventures continue in this sequel. Back for his second year at the Jedi Academy, Roan found himself dealing with many friendship and school issues. After a few misunderstandings, Roan's friendship with both Pasha and Gaiana were in jeopardy and it did not help matters when he started hanging out with the class bullies Cronah and Cyrus.
There's also quite a few Star Wars references throughout and I absolutely adored the Yoda in this book. He's great.
A funny book that's geared towards children but can still make adult Star Wars fans laugh.
