ReviewsPraise for Darth Vader & Son "Jeffrey Brown ( Incredible Change-Bots ) crashes headlong into George Lucas's galaxy far, far away with endearing, funny -- and fully licensed -- results." -- Publishers Weekly "[A] hilarious and oh-so-charming comic reimagining of the Star Wars series for kids." -- The Toronto Star "It is funny and sweet and the perfect stocking stuffer for Star Wars -loving dads." -- The Victoria Times Colonist, "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Roan Novachez thought he was destined to attend Pilot Academy Middle School, just as his older brother and father did. His dreams are crushed when he is rejected by Pilot Academy and accepted into a sketchy new school called Coruscant Jedi Academy. Roan has no idea what to expect at the academy and feels pressured after learning he is the oldest student ever to enroll there. Confused and struggling to keep up, Roan tries to fly under the radar and passes the time drawing comics of his daily life at his strange boarding school. This fantastic chapter book by Brown will satisfy those who loved his previous Star Wars works, Darth Vader and Son (2012) and Vader's Little Princess (2013). With its mix of comics and text, it will also appeal to fans of Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants hybrid books. On a deeper level, this book tackles serious issues like failure, bullying, friendship, determination, and starting a new school in a fun and funny way. Perhaps best of all, it encourages readers to practice creativity and to start their own journals." - Booklist starred review, Praise for Darth Vader & Son "Jeffrey Brown ( Incredible Change-Bots ) crashes headlong into George Lucas's galaxy far, far away with endearing, funny - and fully licensed - results." - Publishers Weekly "[A] hilarious and oh-so-charming comic reimagining of the Star Wars series for kids." - The Toronto Star "It is funny and sweet and the perfect stocking stuffer for Star Wars -loving dads." - The Victoria Times Colonist
