Happy Star Wars Day!
In order to properly celebrate, we wanted to share some of our favorite Star Wars reads by Jeffrey Brown for you to pick up and enjoy today. Check them out below and May the Fourth Be With You!
Star Wars: Jedi Academy is an incredibly original that story captures all of the humor, awkwardness, fun, and frustrations of middle school—all told through one boy's comics, journal entries, letters, doodles, and newspaper clippings. The setting? A galaxy far, far away.
Roan's one dream is to leave home and attend Pilot Academy like his older brother, father, and grandfather. But just as Roan is mysteriously denied entrance to Pilot School, he is invited to attend Jedi Academy—a school that he didn't apply to and only recruits children when they are just a few years old. That is, until now...
This inventive novel follows Roan's first year at Jedi Academy where, under the tutelage of Master Yoda, he learns that he possesses more strength and potential than he could have ever dreamed. Oh, and he learns other important things too—like how to make a baking soda volcano, fence with a lightsaber, slow dance with a girl, and lift boulders with the Force.
Star Wars: Jedi Academy, Return of the Padawan returns 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.
Star Wars: Jedi Academy, The Phantom Bully, which releases on June 30, 2015, takes readers back to Jedi Academy for Roan’s last year in the third installation of the New York Times bestselling series.
It's hard to believe this is Roan's last year at Jedi Academy. He's been busier than ever learning to fly (and wash) starships, swimming in the Lake Country on Naboo, studying for the Jedi obstacle course exam, and tracking down dozens of vorpak clones--don't ask. But now, someone is setting him up to get in trouble with everyone at school, including Yoda. If he doesn't find out who it is, and fast, he may get kicked out of school! Why can't middle school just be easy?
Roan won't be attending Jedi Academy forever, but that doesn't mean the fun has to end when you finish reading. Spend more time with Roan, Yoda, Ewok Pilot, and the rest of your favorite Jedi Academy characters in this out-of-this-galaxy interactive journal – Star Wars: Jedi Academy, Attack of the Journal, coming August 25, 2015. This companion book is one space adventure you won't want to miss!
