About This Book
Reach for this book when your early reader is struggling to stay engaged with traditional phonics books and needs the 'hook' of a favorite franchise to build reading stamina. It is an ideal bridge for children who love building and visual storytelling, using the familiar LEGO Star Wars universe to make the transition to independent reading feel like play rather than a chore. The story follows the Sith apprentice Darth Maul as he carries out a mission for his master. While it features a 'villain' as the protagonist, the narrative focuses on focus, following instructions, and the mechanical world of droids and starships. It is perfectly leveled for ages 6 to 8, providing high-action imagery that supports the text, helping children decode more complex sci-fi vocabulary through visual cues. It turns a screen-time favorite into a successful literacy milestone.
