Bracken,
Alexandra The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy (Star Wars: A New Hope:
4). 317 pages. Disney, 2015. $18. Content: G (no swears, some
but negligible violence, no mature content).
Princess
Leia has been captured by Darth Vader and forced to watch her planet be
destroyed. Her only chance of escape lies in the hands of an eager,
untrained, young moisture farmer and a deadly, fugitive, intergalactic
smuggler.
You’ve
seen the movie - I know you have! Bracken does a skillful job of bringing
the movie to the page. alternating the point of view in three parts to each of
the main characters. I can’t wait for students to read this for
themselves, as this is much better than the cartoon Star Wars they are watching
now.
