The Desperate Mission

A juvenile fiction book about Obi Wan. It is after the clone wars when the empire is beginning to take over fully. Obi Wan is living on Tatooine watching over Luke. He hears about a former Jedi apprentice that is in trouble and he goes to try and save him. I actually liked this book. I think if I had chosen an adult book I wouldn’t enjoy it as much. Plus this is a book my son would read and I like to keep tabs on his reading.

A fun, short book following Obi-Wan's adventures 1 year after the events of Episode III.

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.
