Great book for boys! I mean, who doesn't love Star Wars, right? Although the plot is a bit predictable with the Jedi and other lowly citizens fighting against the evil empire, the action and adventure is engaging -- I mean, who wouldn't like to use light savers and fly around all kinds of stuff.

I think these would be great in a 3rd to 5th grade classroom library for reluctant readers because this book is not too long and is very fast-paced. (
