Star Wars: Jedi Academy, Return of the Padawan
by Jeffrey Brown
Reviewed by: Rebecca
Rating: *****
 
Roan thought his second year at Jedi Academy would be perfect.  He can't wait to hang out with his friends.  Roan builds a cool robot, goes on a fun field trip and Roan can actually use the force.  But the best part is Roan will start Star Pilot training.  But everything goes wrong.  Star Pilot training is harder than Roan imagined.  His friends are ignoring him.  Also, bullies are trying to lead Roan to the dark side, which to Roan actually seems fun . . .
 
I loved reading this book.  I give it a 5-Star rating.  I recommend it for ages 8-12.  If you like Star Wars and funny books, you might like Return of the Padawan.  It can also teach us a lesson about bullies and friends.
