Rebel acts continue despite Vader's warning. Vader teams up with two unlikely allies to protect the queen of Shu-Torun. Volume 3
Quick Summary
If your kid's into Star Wars, this quick graphic novel is a solid pick. Vader teams up with some unexpected characters to keep the queen of Shu-Torun safe while Rebel troublemakers ignore his warnings, and the dynamics between the characters make it surprisingly funny for a story centered around the galaxy's most intimidating villain. At just 940 words, it's one of those books that reluctant readers can actually finish in a sitting, which does wonders for their confidence, and the comic format keeps things moving even for kids who don't usually gravitate toward chapter books. The art carries a lot of the story, so kids who struggle with dense text still get the full experience, and there's enough action and personality to hook even picky readers. Parents will appreciate that it's got that classic Star Wars mix of adventure and mild peril without anything too heavy for the middle grade crowd. Fans of the Doctor Aphra comics will recognize the tone, though this volume stands on its own for anyone wanting a quick Vader story.
