I have raised my two young boys (who I usually refer to as
my young Padewans) to be respectful and quiet when in hospitals and libraries.
They are to use their indoor voice or fear death. It was too my chagrin when I
heard them YELLING in a bookstore two days ago. I couldn't give them the death
stare fast enough, but as my eyes glazed to my boys I noticed the end cap they
were standing in front of----the newest addition to the Jedi Academy series by Jeffrey Brown--The Phantom Bully. I started yelling with them! IT--the end of the
middle school years--wasn't supposed to be on shelves for another two weeks. We
had to fight for who would read it first!
Brown has created another fun filled adventure for Roan and
his gang of young Padewans! Cronah and his gang of bullies has ganged up on
Roan to torture him in his last year. They take his backpack and fill it with
horrible food and damage weeks of his homework, along with other mean antics to
keep him fearing for his passing of middle school. Roan also gets to officially
call Gaiana his girlfriend. The comic
book pages, along with Brown's amazing ability to draw, and the ability to
capture Yoda-ize is truly remarkable. I will know start the series again and
read them more slowly as I had to pass this along to my own Padewans.
