Content: PG (some sci-fi fighting) 

 BUYING ADVISORY: MS - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Izzy and Jules were inseparable – exploring the desert of Batuu together. Then Izzy and her family disappeared. Until after thirteen years Izzy is back. She’s been betrayed by her boyfriend and desperate to rebuild her life and her latest mysterious job brings her back to Batuu, where immediately runs into Jules. As they reluctantly reconnect, who should arrive but that back-stabbing boyfriend and his crew and they are sure that Izzy is there to ruin their nefarious job. Jule and Izzy are now on the run, trying to salvage her job and stay out of the hands of the others. 

Set in the world of Disney’s new Galaxy Edge theme park, Cordova does an excellent job of evoking the Star Wars tone and atmosphere. Star Wars fans who also read the books will certainly enjoy. However – there are not as many of those fans that I wish there were.
