What’s mightier than a lightsaber? The power of words. Put some Force into your writing. Did you know: if you can write well, you have the power to be a hero. “The pen is mightier than the sword”, the great writer Shakespeare said. Weapons fight wars, but words prevent or start them. Besides, you won’t get far in the Star Wars galaxy if you can’t spell Tatooine or write home from the Jedi Academy. So sharpen up your skills with puzzles, writing activities and colour pictures of your favourite Star Wars heroes. Choosing words, writing stories, creating characters. Become a Jedi writing master.
After surviving his first year at Jedi Academy, Roan Novachez thought his second year would be a breeze. He couldn't have been more wrong. Roan feels like he's drifting apart from his friends, and it's only made worse when Roan discovers he's not the amazing pilot he thought he'd be. When the school bullies take him under their wing, he decides they aren't so bad after all — or are they? This year, Roan will have to face alien poetry tests, menacing robots, food fights, flight simulation class, online bullies, more lightsaber duels, and, worst of all, a girl who is mad at him. 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, sketches, e-mails, and more.
