New from Jeffrey Brown: Star Wars: Jedi Academy
August 23rd, 2013
Star Wars: Jedi Academy is a lovely new children’s book from Jeffrey Brown, the talented author and illustrator who previously created the bestselling Darth Vader and Son, and most recently, Vader’s Little Princess.
The book is described as: “This incredible, original story captures all of the humor, awkwardness, fun, and frustrations of middle school–all told through one boy’s comics, journal entries, letters, doodles, and newspaper clippings. The setting? A galaxy far, far away…
“Roan’s one dream is to leave home and attend Pilot Academy like his older brother, father, and grandfather. But just as Roan is mysteriously denied entrance to Pilot School, he is invited to attend Jedi Academy–a school that he didn’t apply to and only recruits children when they are just a few years old. That is, until now…
“This inventive novel follows Roan’s first year at Jedi Academy where, under the tutelage of Master Yoda, he learns that he possesses more strength and potential than he could have ever dreamed. Oh, and he learns other important things too–like how to make a baking soda volcano, fence with a lightsaber, slow dance with a girl, and lift boulders with the Force.”
The book is available on Amazon for pre-order now and will be released on August 27.
