About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is beginning to question authority or struggling with the weight of a 'good' reputation versus doing what they feel is right in the moment. While set in the Star Wars galaxy, the story centers on Obi-Wan Kenobi's difficult choice to defy his mentor and the Jedi Council to help a group of young rebels fighting for their planet's survival. It is an ideal bridge for middle-grade readers navigating peer loyalty and the realization that even trusted leaders can be wrong. Parents will appreciate how it models moral courage and the complex consequences of standing up for one's convictions, even when it means facing disapproval from those we respect most. The themes of justice and independence are handled with depth, making it more than just a space adventure.
