About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the realization that the people they admire are fallible, or when they are caught in a 'he-said, she-said' conflict where the truth is obscured by bias. While set in the Star Wars universe, this story is a sophisticated exploration of integrity and the difficulty of staying objective when your loyalties are tested. It follows young Obi-Wan Kenobi and his master, Qui-Gon Jinn, as they investigate a world where history is being rewritten to suit the victors. Parents will appreciate how the book models critical thinking and the courage required to stand up for what is right, even when it means admitting you were wrong about a friend. It is perfectly pitched for the 8 to 12 age range, offering fast-paced action alongside deep philosophical questions about justice and memory. It is an excellent tool for discussing how to navigate peer pressure and the importance of seeking out multiple perspectives before forming a judgment.
