You might reach for this book when your child feels they are being unfairly compared to someone else, or when they are struggling to earn the trust of a mentor who seems distant. While set in the Star Wars universe, the heart of the story is the fragile relationship between young Obi-Wan Kenobi and his teacher, Qui-Gon Jinn. It explores how an adult's past experiences can sometimes cloud their view of a child's potential. This middle-grade adventure deals with the complex themes of betrayal and the slow process of building a new bond. It is perfectly appropriate for ages 8 to 12, offering a blend of fast-paced action and deep emotional resonance. Parents will appreciate the lesson that a child's worth is not defined by the mistakes of those who came before them, and that earning trust is a journey that requires patience from both sides.
