A New Hope: The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy by Alexandra Bracken

adventurous emotional funny lighthearted tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Clearly this book is meant for 11-13 year olds but still a fun, fast read.  What I loved most about this book was that it gave us the little details the movie couldn't --> like General Kenobi recognizing R2-D2 or Luke being tested on a simulator before joining the Rebellion.  A fun read that gives the reader the perspective of a New Hope from its three lead characters.
