Junior Jedi 4: Anakin's Quest

I thought this was a good book, but not nearly as well written as the first trilogy. One thing I liked about it was that it addressed Anakin's fear of turning to the dark side, though wasn't that taken care of in the previous book? When I first read this, at age eleven, I really could have cared less about Uldir, and considered him an irritating fifth wheel. But now that I myself am a teenager,(about to turn fifteen) I understand his problems better and sympathize more with his character. This book is best for children twelve and under, but anyone could read it as long as they don't expect an epic. One more thing; how come in Heir to the Empire Yoda's house is all rotted and not even there anymore, but in this book, which takes place thirteen years later, it's perfectly intact. Well, like I said, this book has it's flaws, but it's good.

This book is the best in the series. Anakin has some spell-binding dreams that you'll love. In this book, Anakin goes to Dagobah with Tahiri and Ikrit. When he gets there, he and Tahiri revisit the place where Luke was trained by Yoda. And what they see there is truly amazing . . .

I liked this book because it concentrated only on what Anakin did instead of switching to what Han did, or Luke did, and the whole book was about him. It was easy to read and I hope that they write a lot more books in this series.

I am an avid Star Wars fan. I've read just about all of the books. Even though I am 27, I especially enjoy the Junior Jedi Knights series. It's easy reading and a real joy to read. This book is wonderful because you find out the true fears of Anakin and Tahiri. If you love Star Wars, find out more about Han and Leia's youngetst son in these great books.

Thousands of children's books are published every year, and it's hard to catch kids' attention. One thing that never fails to stand out, however, is the familiar "Star Wars" logo on a book cover. "Anakin's Quest," the fourth book in the popular Junior Jedi Knights series, is a wonderful tool for encouraging young "Star Wars" fans to read. Rebecca Moesta's writing is concise and uncomplicated, and the story moves quickly enough to keep most kids interested. Young Anakin Solo, son of Han Solo and Princess Leia, is learning to be a Jedi Knight with the help of his uncle, Luke Skywalker, and his friends Tahiri, Master Ikrit, and Artoo-Detoo. In this installment, Anakin and company travel to Dagobah to visit the cave where Luke Skywalker faced the Dark Side in himself. Anakin is afraid that he's destined to fall to the Dark Side like his grandfather, Darth Vader, and needs to face his own inner demons. His adventures along the way will engross and excite even the most casual of "Star Wars" fans. This book is best for children aged 7 to 12--and, of course, the young at heart.
