Star Wars: Jedi Academy, Return of the Padawan
Star Wars: Jedi Academy, Return of the Padawan | Jeffrey Brown
9 posts | 12 read
Author/illustrator Jeffrey Brown returns in the highly anticipated sequel to the NY Times Bestseller Star Wars: Jedi Academy! It's time to return to middle school in a galaxy far, far away. . . . 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.

As we get ever closer to the end of the school year, more & more books, although never ALL the books, are being returned. The shelves are bursting—including the graphic novels/comics section which is one of our fastest growing & most in demand. Ten years ago graphic novels filled half a shelf. Today we have five full shelves. Some kids want only chapter books, some picture books & some comics—we just want them to ❤️ reading whatever the format.

Tamra My kids adore graphic novels, which I‘m happy about. However I struggle to get them to balance with chapter books. 😬 5y
TracyReadsBooks @Tamra Balancing is sooo hard. We usually tell kids one graphic novel/one chapter book otherwise some we‘d never have any graphic novels on our shelves! 😂 Really great graphic novels prove we‘re never to old to enjoy a good picture book! 5y

Proud Mamma moment yesterday:
Me: how was school today?
Xavier (7yrs): boring...OH but there was one awesome bit, we went to the Juniors library and it‘s was MASSIVE! There were over a billion books there, it was awesome!
Me: 😍 That‘s my boy!

kezzlou85 Aww I remember my daughter saying that when she saw the junior schools library, she uttered the same when she saw the high school one too. ❤ 6y

I think this is a nod to Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy, although the target audience for this series is far too young to get it. I got a kick out of it, though. ☺️ #dontpanic

My husband had to take care of both his girls today - I had to get stronger pain meds for my surgery recovery because I couldn‘t get comfortable, & Twinkle had to get a stronger course of antibiotics because her UTI wasn‘t getting better. I made all appropriate phone calls, and my husband did all the running around- which was a lot. We are now both medicated and tucked in on the couch, and I‘m doing some further Jedi Academy reading. #dogsoflitsy

Lreads Good Hubby! I hope you and Twinkle feel better soon. 6y
Eggs Hope you feel better soon ❤️ 6y
TrishB Hope you‘re on the mend soon. 6y

RohitSawant Hope you feel better! 6y
Simona Feel better soon, both of you ♥️♥️ 6y
PenguinInFlight @QuietlyLaura @Eggs @TrishB @rohit-sawant @Simona Thank you! ❤️❤️After two doses of her new med, Twinkle already seems to be feeling better, so I‘m keeping my fingers crossed! I had a hysterectomy on Friday, so I‘m on the mend, too, it‘s just going to take a bit. These meds helped a lot, and I‘m in much less pain.☺️ I‘m out of work for a month, so at least I‘ll have a lot of time to read! 😉 My husband is taking excellent care of us both. 🤗❤️ 6y
Smrloomis Glad to hear things are looking up. Hope you both can get lots of good rest! 🤞🏽 6y
TrishB Look after yourself 💕 reading and doing nothing else is the best cure! 6y
Eggs Great news 🙂 Read yourself to wellness!! 6y
PenguinInFlight @Smrloomis @TrishB @Eggs Thank you! 💕Twinkle is much, much better - still on her antibiotic but 100% improved - I am healing slowly but surely. ☺️ I was way more worried about her than I was about me. I was nearly frantic because she was so sick and we couldn‘t take her in because I wasn‘t supposed to be alone that soon after surgery. My mom ended up coming over (and basically watched me sleep) so my husband could get all the meds. 6y
Eggs GreAt to hear 😊. I know what that's like having to be babysat... 6y
PenguinInFlight @Eggs My Mom very happily came over, but it felt ridiculous to be a couple months short of 35 and need a babysitter. 🤦🏻‍♀️I kept telling my husband I would be fine alone for a couple hours, and he told me I had to listen to the doctor, though he was impressed I had become a rebel and rule-breaker all of a sudden. 😂 6y
Eggs @PenguinInFlight 🤣😂🤣 on the other hand, enjoy the being-babysat while you can, and soak up the love ❤️ 6y
