Description
"More than 20 years after the Rebel forces destroyed the terrible Death Star, Luke Skywalker has turned their abandoned base into a training center for Jedi hopefuls. So it is here, on the jungle moon of Yavin 4, that the irrepressible twin children of Han Solo and Princess Leia explore the power of their inherit talent: Jacen, who spends his free time collecting exotic creatures--and suspects he can speak to them using the Force; and Jaina, who takes after her father, dismantling any piece show more of machinery she can get her hands on. Now in their teens, Jacen and Janina study and train long hours with their friends Tenel Ka, the tough, self-sufficient daughter of Dathomir witch, and Chewbacca's nephew Lowbacca, who wears a talkative translator droid called Em Teedee. They dream of protecting the New Republic from the last vestiges of evil in the galaxy--a wish they'll get sooner then they think. For the force of dakness is just out of sight, waiting to pounce, hungry to use the young Jedis' nascent powers for its own evil purposes..and it's called the Shadow Academy." -- Book jacket flap show lessTags
