Summary: Good Start
Review: "The Golden Globe" is a good beginning for the series. It introduces the characters involved in that first book, before beginning the story, with minor events such as how Anakin Solo is doing in this "Jedi Academy." The climax to the story is very exciting--if you are from ages 6-9. I felt it was a good beginning for this new series.

Summary: This was a great book!!
Review: I first read this book and the rest of the series when I was ten or eleven, and I thought they were the best books I had ever read. And since then I have rarely read a book that has captured me in quite the same way. The writing was great, and very discriptive and the characters were well developed. This book was also the first introduction I had to the expanded Star Wars universe, and I thought it explained very well about Anakin and Han and Leia and everyone without to many complicated explanations. I've recently gone back and read these again, and while not quite as gripping as before, they're still great books, though best for children twelve and under.

Summary: Oh! Oh! Awful! P.U!
Review: I know you all are going to hate me for this, but I feel that this just needed to be said. This book was awful. I am an avid reader of anything Star Wars, and am usually very lenient with my reviews. But to this, THIS monstrosity I must object. First of all, the plot of this book was weak. It was mainly concerned with introducing characters, and did not have a gripping--nor believable--plot. Do those of you who read the book really believe that Anakin could sneak out of the Jedi Acadamy on some crazy mission right under the teachers' noses? I don't THINK so!! He's just a little boy! Luke and Tionne should be able to see right through him! And another thing--rafting down the Yavin river? With Artoo in tow? Now really. The second thing--the characters. I've seen authors who've put people out of character before (namely KJA and a few others) but this is ridiculous! No one acts as they were set up to in previous books! Anakin, instead of being the quiet, studious young man who is always trying to follow rules (as established in previous works) is a rule breaking, let's-go-for-it hot shot! On impulse, he follows some strange dream deep into the jungle, setting all of his friends in danger just because the dream warned him not to tell any adults about it! Is THIS the Anakin we've met before? I don't think so. And Luke. I thought KJA did a bad job with the poor guy, making him a... well... a wussie, but this is even worse! Luke's so called "calm temperment" has all but disappeared, leaving him the kind of stern, lecturing teacher every kid hates to have! C'mon, people, what's with you?!? I thought he was supposed to be the all around easy-going professor type! And Tahiri---shudder. I don't want to START on Tahiri. She's like Callista all over again. And for those of you who know what I'm talking about (ClubJaders, ArchJedi, etc...), that's as bad as it gets. Possibly worse! All in all, this book should only be read as an introduction to the series--so you can find out who everybody is and what the deal is. Otherwise, this book is a definite-O stay away! I only gave it two stars becuz' I'm hoping in the next few books we get to see a few funny scenes with Ikrit, the dog-like Jedi Master who somehow manages to hide himself from Luke, Tionne, and all the other Jedi who frequent the Acadamy. That's all I have to say. STAY AWAY, MON! Thank you and good night. PS... I'd pay for a sequel to this if I got to see Ikrit chomp on Luke's hand and get electrocuted... :-) PPS... One more objection. Sigh. Just like EVERY other young adult book: Where. Is. MARA?!?!?

Summary: Lots of action does not let you get bored
Review: I read this book to my 6 year old boy... I knew that he thought it was very good when he asked me to read this book to him instead of watching Saturday morning cartoons. It has some flaws but action is the rule here. It reminded me of the old Tom Swift junior books I used to read.... May the Force be with you

Summary: A Great Start for Young Star Wars Fans
Review: I read this series about six years ago when I was in first grade. When I read the first one in first grade, I was obsessed. I couldn't stop reading and I finished it in four days (that was the best I had done up until then). Then I had to wait for three months to read the next one. That drove me crazy. Everyone in my family reads all the time. I'm the youngest of three children, so naturally I wanted to be different from everyone else in my family. Reading was just one of those things that didn't interest me. Until these books came along. I haven't read these books since third grade, so I can't remember how well they were written. All I know is that I thought
these were the most exciting books I had ever read. I went through about two years where all I did was reading one novel a week for school. then I started the Harry Potter books. Once I was done with those, I read The Lord of the Rings. Now I'm reading all the time. Books like the ones listed above, and Ender's Game and its sequels have kept me reading for the past three years. But these books started it all. So if you're looking for a series for a kid who loves Star Wars, who is within the ages of 5 and 9, these are great ones. And once they're done with these, they should try The Young Jedi Knights Series, which have a lot in common but are written for kids probably within the ages 7 and 12. Then, MAKE them read Ender's Game. And If they like Ender's Game, They should check out it's sequels, starting with Speaker for the Dead. There are a lot of other Star Wars Kids books out there, but I don't think they're worth the effort. Have them read Harry Potter or something.

Summary: Exciting story!
Review: I read through this book all at one time because it was so exciting. It had lots of action and I liked the people. I liked the part where they found the Golden Globe.
