I remember watching Star Wars when I was a kid and loving it and watching it over and over, and then reading the books and the expanded universe books, like the ones when the Jedi Academy started and the first few ones about Leia and Han's kids. I'm really looking forward to reading these new books, starting with this one. :)
OH, WOW! I had no idea this existed! Very cool, thank you for sharing! Great pick!

I won't lie, I've never seen Star Wars. *hides from all the Star Wars fans*. I have, however, read Alexandra Bracken's books and loved them! I hope you like this one! I know a lot of people are excited for it!
