review:
'Star Wars: Jedi Academy, Return of the Padawan' by Jeffrey takes us back for Roan Novachez's second year. In the last book, we learned, humorously, about how he didn't fit in and was afraid he wouldn't make friends.
This time around Roan has lots of friends and he's excited because he's going to learn how to be a star pilot. He's also going to learn what happens when you neglect your friends and hang out with the wrong people. There is lots of humor like the first book, and there are lessons that are subtly made. All the original characters are back along with a new school chef who likes to serve up mushrooms and eyeballs from lunch. Also new, is a version of social media for the school and the lessons to be learned there. Master Yoda is along for the ride serving up wisdom and humor in equal doses.
I liked this one almost as much as the first one. It's got good lessons about being loyal to your friends and not getting in with the wrong crowd. The humor is great for kids and grown ups. I ended up getting copies of the last one for kids I know last Christmas. I'm sure I'll do the same this year. Jeffrey Brown has created another winner.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Scholastic and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this fun ebook.
