Beware the dark side...

Another cute and clever installment in Brown’s Jedi Academy series. There was a subtle nod to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in this one, which gained him major geek points, IMO. On to book 3!

This book was about this kid named Roan, and he was going to this academy that teaches about how to become a Jedi. And he practiced his force at home so he could get good grades on his 2 semester. And then his friends from the dark side are preventing him from becoming a Jedi and turn to the dark side. I like this book because it has lots of funny parts in the book. I recommend this book to Bryce because he likes graphic novels.

I decided to finish the trilogy because my library had all three books. Plus there fast reads. I saw there were some more books in the series but I think there are different characters and my library doesn't have them so I won't be reading those. I wasn't expecting to like them but I kind of do. It's funny that I've never watched a Star Wars movie but can hear Yoda in my head when I read his lines.

Another great book for kids, where I question how this school does nothing when it's obvious these kids admire and plan to become Siths... I know they can't expel them, but some therapy would be good. And they visit the senate in this one which means I'm reminded that they will all be slaughtered by Anakin...On the bright side, Roan's feelings were very relatable... that confusion and pain and wondering how much you're worth, and how much you matter to your friendsAgain, I would recommend this s...

actual rating:4.5it wasn't like this first one, but it was really good!----Roan now is in his second year.. great challenges, face he will (talking like Yoda)building a driod, flighting at last, being friend with bullies, and lose your real friends! *Roan's comic *food fightAnd at last

Stuff I Read - Star Wars: Jedi Academy: Return of the Padawan by Jeffrey Brown ReviewPicking up at the start of Roan's second year at the Jedi Academy, this volume of his story is full of very sophomoric problems. There are misunderstandings with friends, and bungled projects, and some slights slips toward the dark side, but like most books geared toward kids, the hero emerges on the other side stronger than ever, and with some good experiences to show for it. Of course, thrown into the mix are

With the premiere of the new movie, I couldn't think of a better time to read this book. Roan Novachez starts his second year at the Jedi Academy, a school that not only contains Master Yoda as a teacher, but also trains the best Jedi Pilots in a galaxy far far away. Despite the science-fiction background, Brown gives us a realistic view of adolescence with the stress of online bullying (kids get Holobook aka facebook) and the eventual disagreements in a group of best friends. Prepare for an inc...

These books are a different take on Star Wars...but a very fun one! They're sort of like a Disney XD sitcom set in a galaxy far, far away. It's not all comedy, though; there were some dramatic moments as well. You may have seen the movies umpteen times, but, after countless interpretations of A New Hope, Lucas' space opera needed some new stories...and this one is enjoyable.

This book was a good book. It had some comedy, friendship stuff, and what not. the book had a good plot, and I personally thought this was better than the first Jedi Academy book. I would recommend this book for Star Wars fans (mostly young fans, like me). It was also pretty short. Now just waiting for my money to get the 3rd one... heh.

good book

This review originally published in Looking For a Good Book. Rated 3.5 of 5How do you hook early readers who are raised in a culture of social media and at-your-finger-tips-videos?  You hook them with books such as this, Jedi Academy: Return of the Padawan.Roan is in his second year of Jedi training and young Roan deals with everything that the average middle schooler has to deal with ... bullies, fickle friendships, teachers who seem to have it in for you, and cafeteria food!  It's kind of the

weird but still a good book to pick up and read

See my review of Star Wars: Jedi Academy by the same author to get my feelings on this.Basically: lame middle school-type plot, meh drawings, typical characters who are predictable, and last but not least, a truly stupid "holobook" (read: Facebook) subplot. I mean, come on. Way to date your book that's supposed to take place in the far future, or a galaxy far, far away. The Facebook bullying subplot was insipid, uninspired, and uninteresting.Skip this book unless you're such a rabid fan you just...

Disclaimer: ARC via Netgalley. Well, it’s cute. But a bit too busy for me. Jedi Academy is about a young Jedi as he returns to school from vacation. Basically, it is every boarding school funny book meets Yoda. Not as funny as it could be because it tries to do too much. The best parts of the story are not the panel strips, but the letters or newsflashes (as in Yoda shutting down the Jedi version of Facebook). It’s cute, but there really isn’t much, and the Darth Vader and kiddo books are bette...

I really like it.

I'm no Star Wars nut, but I grew up in the 80s, so I've seen the original trilogy. It's good. This book (and truthfully all of Jeffrey Brown's Star Wars books) is so good. It's smart, funny, has positive messages, and is a really fun story. I've recommended the first one to both kids and adults while working at the Children's Desk at the library. I'm happy this seems to be an ongoing series.

I forgot to put this on my goodreads account but this is a great book totally recommend this but first I say you should read first one wich I will update my progress I am done with that series great book #Rowan is the best character in book so is pasha

I really like this book because I like that they use the force and do funny things. My favourite character is Yoda because he is funny. I like that he tells jokes, like when Roan is meditating and a rock hits Cronah in the face and Yoda says he needs more practice meditating. My least favourite character is Cyrus because he is mean to people, he plays mean jokes on people. My favourite part is when it was Family Day and Roan's brother came and did not want the food from the cafeteria and then ca...

Great book! I was in agony, poor Roan, but isn’t that what a book is supposed to do?
