Summary: The 2nd book of an exciting series.
Review: It's the best book of the series. It tells you a lot of stuffso that when you read the next book you know what the Shadow academyis. My favorite part of the book was when Jacen and Jaina are in a lightsaber fight and they didn't Know they were fighting each other. I have previously read Heirs of the Force, Lightsabers, Darkest Knight, The Lost Ones, Shadow Academy, and I am reading Jedi Under Siege.

Summary: The dark side is in everyone -- but who overcomes it?
Review: Shadow Academy is an awesome book to continue the YJK series! If you were wondering about the introduction on the Tie-fighter and the pilot in the first book, now you know! The Dark Side is everywhere and now it's found its way to the twins! The newly borne Dark Jedi group -- Shadow Academy -- has been alerted to the twins' and their fellow Jedi's presence at Yavin 4 (by a most unprecedented means!) and want to use the twins' Jedi abilities to their own dark advantage. So what do they do? Kidnap the twins and any other Jedi who happen to be there! From where and how? You've got to do the reading! And what about the other Jedi Knights and Luke? Tenel Ka has her own problems to deal with, but it's a good thing she did otherwise... Lowie is in the same boat as the twins, and Luke's got some Jedi chasing to do. Topics? A RE-INTRO TO A CLASSIC STAR WARS CHARACTER, GEM-HUNTING ^.~, KIDNAPPING, EXPLOITATION, TEMPTATION, AND THE DARK SIDE. The description and imagery is again vivid and the style is consistent with the first book. Again, great artwork (I miss the foil-embossing! ^.~) and another one to add to your (hopefully) growing collection!

Review: This book is ok but there is no lightsabers in it so its not really exciting

Summary: One of the best in the series!
Review: This is one of my favorites in the series,(it loses by the slightest margin to Lightsabers and Jedi Under Siege) because I love all the warrior women in it. Tenal Ka is definitly my favorite character in the series and the sequences from her point of veiw are my favorites. Another thing I liked about this book and the whole series actualy, was that the adults have a real part in story, instead of just being there for effect. I thought the writing was exelant, and the characters extremly well developed, and I would recamend this series to anyone, though kids ten to fifteen would probobly enjoy it best.

Summary: Another great book in the "Young Jedi Knights" series!
Review: This story is about the Dark Jedi apprentice starts his own school of training Dark Jedi-the Shadow Academy. Luke Skywalker had once tried to turn him, but the evil training of the Empire proved to be firmly placed inside him. He had disappeared...only to reappear now.
Meanwhile, the twins and Lowbacca are visiting their adopted "Uncle" Lando's GemDiver station, the job of the place is to capture valuable Coruscan gems. Suddenly, an Imperial fleet appears and attacks the station. The Imperials shoot all the workers, including Lando, into unconsciousness and kidnaps the twins and Lowie.
Tenel Ka, who didn't go along with them because she had to have a meeting with the Ambassador Yfra, and Luke Skywalker race to find them. They find out that the Nightsisters of Dathomir, who had been all destroyed, was rising up again and were making alliances with the Empire. They also find out that the twins and Lowie had been taken to a Shadow Academy...to be trained into becoming Dark Jedi Knights for the rising Empire. What will happen to the twins and Lowie? Will Luke and Tenel Ka be too late? This book is great, I love reading it! I'm sure you will too, and the next book, "The Lost Ones" is just as good so you will want to read it as well!

Summary: I didn't want to put it down!
Review: This was, in my opinion, the best book I've read recently. The age of the characters makes it easy to relate to them, for a young teenager. I like the fact that they could be any of my friends, since they seem so normal. The plot was filled with suspense and treachery, and I was so nervous I almost screamed at some parts - I won't reveal which ones! I highly recommend this book and hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Summary: The exciting book 2 of the Young Jedi Knights Series!
Review: Written by the terrific husband and wife team, Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta, the Star Wars Young Jedi Knights series are not to be missed! These series of books center on the young twins of Han Solo and Lei Organa, Jacen and Jacen, and their friends, Lowbacca and Tenel Ka, as they journey on the road to becoming Jedi Knights. The second book, "Shadow Academy", begins where the twins and their friend Lowie journey to Lando's new venture, GemDiver Station. Unfortunately, Tenel Ka couldn't go with them since her grandmother, the Matriarch of the Royal Hapan Cluster, had sent her ambassador, Yfra, to visit her. Tenel Ka has still not confessed to her friends about her true identity, the heir to the Royal Throne of Hapes. But little does anyone know that an evil force is growing stronger all the time, this same evil force with evil plans for the young jedi knights... "Shadow Academy" is so much fun, one of my favorites of the first part of the first six books of the series. But "Lightsbaers" and "Jedi Under Siege" comes pretty close. The five main characters of the books are well likable because each of them have their own personalities, characteristics, and quirks. JACEN: He loves all living thing from plants, animals, to insects. In his own room he has his on menagerie of them. He has a special talent in using the Force to communicate with living creatures.
JAINA: An almost complete opposite of her brother, she takes after her father, Han Solo. She is a mechanical whiz and just loves taking apart and putting together droids, machines, and just almost anything. Also like her father, she is very spirited and has a self-confidence which makes her a natural leader.
LOWBACCA: Called Lowie by his friends, he is a Wookie and the nephew of Chewbacca. Very courageous and strong, he loves his friends very much. But sometimes he can't but just help missing his home planet Kashyyyk.
EM TEEDEE: Very much like C-3PO (almost to a fault), Em Teedee is a miniature translating droid who is always kept on Lowie's belt. Though talkative and annoying at times, Em Teedee is a member of the five friends.
TENEL KA: My personal favorite character, Tenel Ka is the daughter of Teneniel Djo, one of the witches of Dathomir, and Prince Isolder of the Royal House of Hapes. Loyal, a little humorless, brave, and strong, she is a warrior and most of all a true friend. Though strong in the force, she tries not to rely too much in it so she is very athletic. So I highly recommend you read all of the fourteen books in order. The series are divided mostly into three parts. The first six books are about the rising force of the Empire and its Dark Jedi Knights. The next five books are about how the Jedi's must stop the Diversity Alliance. And the last three books are how the Jedi's deal with Czethros and Black Sun. Another Star Wars series I very much recommend are the "Jedi Apprentice" series. Don't miss them!
