5-0 out of 5 stars Book Three in a Classic Series
Long before there were Littles or anyone shrunk their children, Mary Norton had written this warm and wonderful series about a race of tiny people who live hidden in quiet country houses and "borrow" their livings from the human inhabitants. Their lives depend on remaining unseen and unsuspected.
5-0 out of 5 stars The third house to fourth in the third book
In this book, "The borrowers afloat" the Clocks once again venture out of a their brand new (rundown) house. This is their 3rd house in the 3rd book. This book tells how they manage "afloat" to get away from the empty cotttage, and "SPECIAL" relatives. Will they get to their dream house?

5-0 out of 5 stars More adventures with the Borrowers
In this, the third book in the Borrowers series (after The Borrowers, and The Borrowers Afield), the Clocks (Pod, Homily and Arrietty) find that they must leave the safety of their new house and venture forth once again into the great big world. Setting their sights on Little Fordham, a miniature model town, the Clocks follow young Spiller out. But the world is a dangerous place for someone as small as a Borrower, and their voyage is filled with excitement.Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A Jedi Craves not These Things...
I am liking this series.I read the first 5 books last year, and started again just this week.I am a nut when it comes to reading a series in order, so I wanted to start with these books to see how Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon interact together before venturing into the prequels and follow-up novels to the movies.
5-0 out of 5 stars Uncertain, You Are
Jude Watson brings to life the choices we face everyday. It shows how Obi-Wan Kenobi had to mkae one deceision between his home and when his friends on Melida/Daan needed him most.3-0 out of 5 stars A Let-down from Defenders of the Dead
Overall, I've greatly enjoyed the Jedi Apprentice series.It's not Harry Potter, but it gets the job done.Defenders of the Dead was a highlight, with an ending that left this jaded, cynical adult gasping with shock.Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars An excellent start to the final trilogy of the series
Part of what fascinated me about this book right from the beginning was that all the kids, while still in character, seemedway older, and supposedly only a few months had passed between The Emperor's Plague and this book.It was an extremly well written book, with a well defined, understandable plot.In it, Jacen and Jaina and Anakin all go on a short vacation with their Dad (Han of course) to go and check out a really cool race on OrdMantell.Once they get there they meet Anja Gallandro, a girl who hates Han because she believes he murdered her father.She plays on his guilt, and somehow convinces him to go try to right a bloody civil war on her home planet.Through an interesting chain of events they meet back up with there other friends (big surpise), as well as Anja who by the way is not only working for some evil smuggler guy, but also is addicted to some kind of drug.I also find it very interesting that all through this whole series Jacen is hung up on Tenel Ka, and now the instant some other pretty girl comes into the picture, he instantly forgets she ever even existed, and I sense the same thing beginning to happen to Zekk and Jaina too.This only serves evenmore to convince me that these budding relationships were silly to begin with, though I must admit I always enjoyed Jacen and Tenel Ka.As for Anja herself, well, she was cool and all but I found myself not really liking her much, and I just couldn't really care about her like I could the other characters.She just seemed more like a glorified and somewhat twisted version ofan early Mara Jade to me.Another thing that bothered me was that even though Anakin was with them throughout the whole book, he was practicly ignored and it seemed as if they somehow forgot about him at some points.This was somewhat irritating because Anakin has always been my favorite of the Solo children.Besidesthose minor details though, this was an exellent book.I also think it is cool that a Star Wars book can deal with serious issues such as drug adiction.I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Star Wars, though it will probably make more sense if you have read the previous 11 first.

4-0 out of 5 stars An adequate beginning of the end
This is the first book in a new YJK trilogy, Under Black Sun, which will conclude (and had already done so) the Young Jedi Knights books.Ah yes,all good things must come to an end.But if this is any indication, it'sgoin' out with bang.It starts with Han and his kids going to Ord Mantell(where Han and Leia where almost captured by a pair of bounty hunters overtwenty year before.)Han is there to judge a Blockade Runner race, and onthe pace lap, the Falcon is nearly blown to space dust by a minefieldplanted by Black Sun.Anakin takes a piece of the mines to analyze it. Enter Anja Gallandro, however, and things get hot.She takes the piece ofthe mine, and faces down Han, who supposedly killed her father during hisadventures twenty-five years before.Zekk, Tenel Ka, and Lowie enter theLightning Rod in the race, and the YJK are reunited.Anja challenges Hanto go to her war-torn planet, Anobis, where the farmers and miners areconstantly at war, blaming each other for the conflict.The kids get splitbetween the mining camps and the farming village, but are reunited and areable to sow the seeds of peace between the warring groups.Anja returnswith theYJK to Yavin 4 to see if she had any Force potential, and thebook concludes.The authors leave some interesting loose ends to tie up,which are drawn into neat little bow-ties at the end, except for a couple;-)See my Crisis on Crystal Reef if you *really* don't get it.

3-0 out of 5 stars Could Be Better
The rest of the series is really awesome but since the lately its been more about Jaina/Zekk and Jason/Tenel Ka's infatuations with each other.It'd be better if they just had more of the action than the mushy fallingin love stuff.It is science fiction after all. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars A Shattered Piece
I thought that this book moved slower than the others, but I still enjoyed the story.Book 9 was so great, I was hoping for something more, but I still got a great Jedi Tale from reading this book.I am going to continue with the rest of these books and on into the rest of the Star Wars world after a short break into something else.
3-0 out of 5 stars Shattered Expectations
The Shattered Peace is a dip in the road that is the Jedi Apprentice series.It is hardly as good as most of its predecessors, suffering from a mostly predictable story, and, in fact, a story that feels like one we've read a dozen (or at least nine) times before.And what there is of a plot is seriously flawed.Rutan and Senali have been exchanging crown princes for generations, we're told, yet the reigning rulers behave as if each has never left his planet!Perhaps a ten year old will not be troubled by this giant oversight, but this thirty three year old couldn't get past it.5-0 out of 5 stars Book 10 of the Jedi Apprentice Series!
Obi-Wan Kenobi and his master Qui-Gon Jinn are sent to keep the peace between the planets Rutan and Senali. But they have more than enough on their hands when conflict arises between the two rulers. For many years, the firstborn children of the rulers of the planets are exchanged at a certain age. Instead of promoting peace this time, the planets are on the brink of war. Leed, the firstborn heir to the throne of Rutan, does not want to go back to his home planet and his father will stop at nothing to get him back. Will Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan be able to bring peace and keep the situation from turning to war and bloodshed?Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Now this is Pod Racing... Again.
This is a review of Jedi Quest Volume 3 DANGEROUS GAMES.Three Jedi teams are sent to a stone less planet that is ruled totally by 10 people.It is the time of galactic games like earths Olympics except done every 7 years.This planet was chosen for the games due to its high proportions of security personnel as the galaxy has become a more dangerous place recently.The Jedi has sent 3 teams of Jedi with their Padawan's for security.The 3 Padawans are Padawan Ferus (Padawan of Siri Tachi)Tru and Anakin.5-0 out of 5 stars The best so far!!
Fourteen year old Anakin Skywalker has been a padawan for nearly six years, and in that time he has learned much, despite his lingering difficulties in controlling his anger.He and Obi-Wan are sent with two other Jedi teams, one containing Anakin's rival, on a fairly routine mission, to mediate and oversee the Galaxy Games (The Olympics, Star Wars style).It doesn't take Anakin long however, to discover another event going on, an illegal one.Podracing.To give away more of the plot would be a crime to this wonderful book, but let me just say that this one is most definatelly full of suprises.I read it in a few hours, and hated putting it down even for a minute.I recommend it to any and every Star Wars fan, young or old.

4-0 out of 5 stars More Continuity
This third installment by Jude Watson is one of the stronger offerings in this relatively new series. The author has a formidable task, as the cinema experience of Episode II was the culmination of all of Anakin's actions that these books will cover. This series does seem to have the books follow each other more closely in time than past series. She has the same challenge as the movies, she is telling a story about characters that we already know how many of their lives will evolve and in some cases end.Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars The End of a Trilogy
This book ended an underlying trilogy story within this series that started in book 6.Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon are reunited as Padawan and Master, which isn't really a spoiler if you have ever seen Ep 1.
5-0 out of 5 stars good padawan gone bad
This is one of my favorite books.I always like books where good guys go bad.Xanatos was Qui-Gon Jinns former padawan.He already went to the dark side.When Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi went on a mission to Telos Xanatos' home planet.They ran into a surprise.Xanatos was waiting for them.They fell into many of Xanatos' traps yet in the end of the book the jedi manages to put Xanatos in a similar trap.This is one of the best books yet and I love it.It shows ones evil fall and anothers redemption as a jedi.Qui-gon is finally letting go of Xanatos and accepting Obi-Wan,This sets a background for the entire saga of Star Wars.I would just like to say that I have read all of the Star Wars kids books and I am the biggest fan.I know what I'm talking about.May the force be with all who read this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Day Reckoning a Story Arc
I've been reading the Jedi Apprentice books to my son (Alex) off and on for the last three years, and he's loved them - and so have I. I still read them to him even though he's getting old enough to read them himself, just so I can have an excuse to read young adult books (yes they are that good). Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Same old, same old
Can Jude Watson please restore this series to its former glory? I mean, books 1-8 were instant classics. The ninth book was the first weak book in the series. Tenth, bad, eleventh, actually, the eleventh was good, twelve, pretty good. And then there's thirteen. It seems that this book is almost identical to the last two. I mean, can we please get away from Jenna Zan Arbor, Ona Nobis? But I didn't give it **** for nothing. It had some good qualities. First off, Cholly, Weez, and Tup. Aw, man, I love those guys! And Didi is only i n the book a short time at the end, thankfully. I find him very irritating. It was okay, though. At least there was action. Heck, has there ever been a JA without action? Of course not! A tiny disappointment, but nothing short of a fun read. One more thing: I don't know why they recommend these books for ages 9-12. Some of the vocabulary is even hard to understand, not to mention very little description, forcing you to visualize the environment and characters. And there are some perplexing themes that are very hard to understand. Guideline: Yeah, these books look short, stupid and easy to read at first glance, but never judge a book by its cover--or its length, for that matter.
4-0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Conclusion to Great Story
The Dangerous Rescue brings to an end the story begun in The Deadly Hunter and continued in The Evil Experiment.Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan must track down an evil scientist and confront a deadly bounty hunter in an adventure guaranteed to satisfy even the most demanding of readers.The Dangerous Rescue also features the return of Adi Gallia (one of the council members seen in Episode I) and her abrasive Padawan, Siri.There's drama, suspense, intrigue - in short, everything one could hope for except a bit of romance (but, after all, as the ads for Episode II told us, a Jedi may not know love . . . .).

5-0 out of 5 stars The conclusion to an exciting story arc!
Obi-Wan Kenobi, with the help of Jedi Master Adi Gallia and her apprentice Siri, rescue Qui-Gon Jinn from the clutches from Jenna Zan Arbor, but fail to stop her escape. The evil scientist Jenna Zan Arbor will stop at nothing as she tries to discover the secrets of the Force... then use them for her own power. When escaping, she takes along with her one Jedi who remains her captive. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Adi Gallia, and Siri must rescue the Jedi and at the same time rescue a planet from her evil clutches.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars good book, good cover art
this is the third Jedi Apprentice book that i have read, and i am impressed. i enjoyed this one alot!

5-0 out of 5 stars An awesome Jedi Apprentice book
but not the best out there. However, this one rocked! It kept me in suspense every second of my read! After the somewhat badly written tenth book, Jude Watson gets back on top. This one is a little different from the others, though. It's like a murder mystery, with complicated themes and clues that I sometimes couldn't understand. So if you like mysteries with complicated cases, then meet the deadly hunter! But it's one of the really short Jedi Apprentices, so the perplexing themes don't go on like forever. Overall, I loved it and almost read the whole thing in one sitting. I highly recommend it for series fans everywhere! Oh, yeah, and if you like those silent and stealthy bad guys over the ones that go right out and say like, oh, "I will destroy the world! Ha ha!", then this is really for you. The bounty hunter that attacks Obi-Wan's Jedi Master Qui-Gon's friend, Didi, uses only silence and stealth--then pounces for the KILL! Once again, a great book! (Oh, yeah, and Coruscant is a great-sounding city. I wouldn't exactly want to live there, but it would no doubt be fun to stay for a while in that huge, urban place.) Did I mention how great the book is?

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Cool Series
Isn't it amazing how a so-called children's series has adults raving about it?I do feel sorry for those that pass over these Jedi Quest books because they feel they are for younger readers.Little do they know. The one relationship in the whole Star Wars univers that has fascinated me the most is the one between Obi-Wan and Anakin.We all know what it's destined for and that makes it a very heartbreaking journey to go through with them.But these books make you almost wish that there's some magical way that Obi-Wan and Anakin will work through their feelings.Shadow Trap shows us Anakin and Obi-Wan at one of those moments in their realationship where they're feeling apart.Well, Anakin is anyways.The great thing about this book is that we see it from both of their sides, we see inside both of their minds, their feelings on the matter.If Anakin could only see that while his Master may be disappointed in an act that he commited previously, he's not cast him off to the wayside, he is simply giving him time to try to deal with it.But of course, they are thrust into a mission with this tension between them and must try to find a way to deal with it and succsesfully complete their task.5-0 out of 5 stars A Great Book
This is a great book. Dont judge the book on how many pages it has. Even though it is short, you will not be disapointed on buying it. im not goin 2 write anything that happens in it cause it would ruin the major thing that happens in the book. Buy the book and read it. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars a very exciting book
This is the first long Star Wars book I ever read and I was quite impressed. With Anja Gallendro's growing addiction to andris spice she decides to steal Zekk's ship THE LIGHTNING RODto go and get more spice from Kessel. Jacen, Jaina, Tenel Ka, Lowbacca and Zekk decide to go after her to stop her spice addiction and get Zekk's ship back. When they get to Kessel they learn that the administraitor has had a assasination attempt on him and Anja has left to Mon Calanmari. Leaving Jaina & Lowbacca to watch over the administrator. When the rest of the gang arrives at Mon Calamari they meet with the Jedi healer/ambassador they meet Anja and decide to destroy the evil Czethros (who smuggles andris spice) spice hideaway under the ocean. But Czethros has landed troops on Kessel for a takeover,and only Jaina & Lowbacca stand in his way! The book is exciting with lots of action. I recomend it to all Star Wars readers.

5-0 out of 5 stars An excellent finish to the saga
After many adventures and many friendships, not to mention fourteen novels, the much loved saga of the Young Jedi Knights has finally come to an end.I greeted this book with a measure of respect, and also a touch of sadness.I expected it to be onethe best yet, and I was not disapointed.For a brief summery, Anja finally admits to herself that she is addicted to Andris Spice, (a type of drug) and, though she is trying to quit, she finally can't stand it any more.She steals Zekk's ship, The Lightning Rod, and heads for the spice mines of Kessal to get a few more doses to "tie her over" while she figures out what to donext.Naturally, the Young Jedi Knights go after her, and they eventually track her down to Crystal Reef, Calimari, and that's where the real adventure starts...In short, this book provided a fine close to this final trilogy, with (at last) an awesome confrontation with Czethros and Black Sun, as well as coming to terms with the question of Anja's adiction to spice.Speaking ofAnja, this book really seemed to redeem her.I didn't like her at all at first, because of how much of a jerk she always is, andbecause it seemed that she was trying to replace Tenel Ka, whom I have always liked.She was better in this book, because she was at last admitting her mistakes to herself and to others and trying to set things right.Also, while this book solved the delima of this trilogy, there were many loose ends left unsatisfied, and it didn't seem to bring true closure to the wholeseries, except in the last few pages.For instance, what ever happened to Raynar after the death of his father?He was never one of my favorite characters anyway, but it should have been Zekk who was left out, not Raynar.Now that Zekk is no longer a villian and his healing processes are through, we really don't need him anymore except to be The Boy That Jaina Likes.I was never to enthusiastic about that boring relationship.Jacen and Tenel Ka were much better.Also, what happened to Raaba? Is she ever going to come back?They should have brought her back in this book.And I would have prefered it if all the Young Jedi Knights were together in their final adventure, instead of just Jaina and Lowie getting to fight the last battle.Anja, Jacen, Zekk, and Tenel Ka are instead all under Crystal Reef destroying the Andris, and while this has as much to do with the main plot as anything else, they are not all together and that is the point.Other than that though, there is nothing else wrong with this excellent book, and I would recommend this series to any Star Wars fan.

3-0 out of 5 stars The end is at hand
It's over.The YJK series is at an end, but it's kind of unsatisfying end.To be brief, Anja, suffering from spice withdrawl, steals theLightning Rod and jets to Kessel to get some of the drug.She learns ofCzethros's hidden stash on Mon Calamari, and then goes there to find it. Lowie and Jaina go to Kessel and end up disrupting Black Sun's takeover ofNien Nunb's spice mining operation, and travel to Mon Cal to help out Zekkand Tenel Ka and Jacen.Ambassador Cilghal provided the group with a suband the YJK make for the ice caps and then destroy the spice cache.Anjanearly dies until the Knights use a healing trance on her.They are nearlyeaten by a sea monster looking for a nice snack, but they survive andreturn to the academy.Anja, discovering that she has no Force potential,goes to Cloud City and works with Lando to run the establishment.Thisbook is drawn to a very disappointing close, with Jacen giving Tenel Ka anecklace and Zekk promising to let Jaina be his copilot whenever shewanted.I figured that since these relationships had been building over 2years, that they would have a better end (in print.)However, there aremany fan fictions dealing with that sort of thing, should you be soinclined.And that leaves me to wonder, in the New Jedi Order, where areZekk and Tenel Ka?It's like they never existed.Oh well.May the Forcebe with you guys! ...

5-0 out of 5 stars this book is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this book there's so many good charecter's (I like lowie the most in this book!!!!!!!!!!) and I love the theme park
5-0 out of 5 stars This book deserves 10 stars!
Well, I have to say that this was the best Young Jedi Knights book to come along in a while.Oh, but don't get me wrong, they're all good, but a few definitly stand above the others.Namely, Lightsabers, Jedi Under Siege, Jedi Bounty, and The Emperor's plague.And now Trouble on Cloud City has joined the ranks of the great.In this book, Lando askes Jacen, Jaina, Lowie, Tenel Ka, Anja, and Em Teedee to come with him to Cloud City to help supervise a new amusement park he is building there.When they get there however, they find that Lando's partner has been murdered, and they set out to find who did it.Anja knows of course, or at least guesses that her master Czethros is at work and she struggles on many moral points concerning her new friends, and her growing adiction to Andris Spice.Actually, in this book I found myself softening a bit towards Anja, who I previously hated.I still don't like her nearly as much as the other characters, but I began to realize that she is a victim is her own right, since it isn't her fault she was mislead and used and duped into Andris.Also, this book focused a lot on Tenel Ka, who is my favorite character in the series, and allowed us toget inside her, and see her thoughts and feelings in a way that has not been done since the masterpiece of Lightsabers.Her reaction when Jacen fell of Cloud City was heartbreaking, and I'll confess, that the scene where they all thought that they would never see him again almost had me in tears, and I never, EVER cry over books or movies or anything.I liked how this booklet us see how much Tenel Ka truly cares about Jacen.Speaking of Jacen, his crush on Anja seems to have ended, which may in fact be what opened me up to her a bit, since I was always adamently against that.Anyway, I would recommend this series toany Star Wars fan, no matter what their age, even though they are generaly geared towards the 10-15 set.Also, this book wouldhave a stronger effect on you and generally make more sense if you have read the previous twelve first, though if that is to much work, it is at least reccomeded that you read the one beforeit.

5-0 out of 5 stars If you love Star Wars you will love this series!
These are great books! This book is great for begginers.The story is great, the plot is great, it's very intriging.The book is about Jason, Jaina, and Tenel Ka, and Lobaca.Lando Calorisian is inviting the Young Jedi Knights to his Resort on Cloud City.The kids will come as long as they can bring their friend Anga Gilrado.But what they will find out is...You'll just have to read the book.It's a great book as a gift.It's a must for all Star Wars fans. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars The Best Yet!!!
For some odd reason, it seems that all the reviews for the various books in this series are posted under all of the books.For the record, this review is for Jedi Quest Volume 4, The Master of Disguise.5-0 out of 5 stars Top 10 Percent Of The Series
The error may be corrected by the time this is posted, but these comments are on, "Jedi Quest #4, The Master Of Disguise". There appears to be confusion between the pages showing the book together with the description of the third book in this series. Jude Watson has contributed more books to the Star Wars Saga than any other author. This is not due to the scope of her work rather that she has been the sole author for these series that are targeted at younger readers. Although meant for persons decades my junior, I have enjoyed many of her books and I am not the only ancient reader who takes these books to the checkout and is rewarded with incredulous looks by cashiers. I joined the Star Wars Universe when the first film opened and have remained a fan, and chatting with youngsters in bookstores about these books have made the experience all the more enjoyable.Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Good continuation.
I am not a big hater of Mr. Anderson like a lot of people are. These were written to a younger audience and he achieved it. They are still interesting and these stories play a big part in the following books. I would recommend this book to Star Wars fans young and old. I'm sorry I waited to read these but it makes them more interesting knowing what happens to them later.

3-0 out of 5 stars Its ok
This book is ok but there is no lightsabers in it so its not really exciting

5-0 out of 5 stars An Incredible Sequal to the Young Jedi Knights Series
I especially liked this Book because it really starts the Jedi/Sith relation ship and it begins the actual story because it introduces the real enemy to the Jedi: The Shadow Academy.Read more

My four-year old daughter received this book as a gift.It is very cute, but I found the outfits and other accessories extremely difficult to cut out.

5-0 out of 5 stars Paper doll booklet of Ludwig Bemelmans' Madeline
This booklet will be a delight both to fans of Madeline and paper doll collectors alike. The colors are vivid and true to the book illustrations. Madeline and her neighbor Pepito have outfits and accessories for play, dress-up, stormy weather, the circus, and nightime.And of course, Madeline's trademark blue coat and yellow hat are included.There is even an armoire to store the clothes and dolls when not in use.The pieces are large enough for children to handle but have enough detail to please the paper doll collector. This booklet is so cute you may not want to cut it up at all! ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A Planet Full of Lies
This book takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Kegan is the one planet that has no communication with the outside world. No one goes in and no one comes out. It has been that way for many years on Kegan and when the Jedi get a message from a family that thinks that there child is force-sensitive(able to interact with the force). When the Jedi here this they know that the must act upon it. Master Yoda summons Obi-Wan, Adi, Siri, and Qui-Gon to the council chamber. They have to get the force sensitive child to Coroucant in order to be trained. The team of Jedi soon find themselves tangled in a web with Kegan's affairs. The masters and padawans get separated from each other and have to fight endlessly to get back together. I think that this sci-fi story is very exciting with a lot of action and adventure. The Jedi have to fight for many things including there live.

4-0 out of 5 stars Foreshadowing...Difficult to see, the future is...
This book contains some good foreshadowing for Episodes 3 and 4.I am enjoying this story quite a bit already, but this tie-in about things to come in the famous movies really makes this series seem closer to Star Wars than just the names of the characters being the same.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great for kids who love Star Wars
This book was my favorite in the Junior Jedi Knights series. I love the Melodies! The idea of a planet where kids rule is sooo cool! However, I don't think Luke should have let Anakin and Tahiri go on a dangerous trip like that with only Peckum to watch out for them, and even he is conveniently gotten rid of as soon as they land. Luke should have at least sent a Jedi with them. But then, part of why I love this book is because the kids are on their own protecting themselves, so what am I complaining about? One thing I wondered about was what ever happened to Sannah? She is never mentioned again in any other book, and I rather liked her character. I would recommend this book to any Star Wars fan, but kids twelve and under would probably enjoy it best. When I first read this at age ten I thought it was the best book I had ever read, and even now I still enjoy reading this series.

2-0 out of 5 stars Fair
Lyric's World is Yavin 8, which is inhabited by many dangerous creatures.It's a place where Anakin, Tahiri, and their new friend Lyric have a few adventures.However, I only gave it 2 stars because the children make less progress in their assignment than I had hoped.Although some some excitingadventures do happen (you've got to read the book to know what I mean),they don't seem to come too much closer to their goal: solving the GoldenGlobe.

5-0 out of 5 stars This book was the best I've read.
I loved this book and I want it to have five stars. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars ties that bind
I found this book to be just as fulfilling as all of the Jude Watson books so far. Seeing that Qui Gon Jinn was only inthe first movie these books let us see how the great Jedi master really was in our own imagination. I am also a big fan ofr Obi Wan stories and Watson's books are great to see his past as well.

5-0 out of 5 stars Story arc exploring Qui-Gon's heart...
Obi-Wan Kenobi is now sixteen-years-old and now has a pretty solid relationship with his master, Qui-Gon Jinn. But right now he is very confused as his master acts distant. The reason is because Qui-Gon is being plagued with terrible dreams about his good friend, the Jedi Tahl, and because of this, he is troubled in his heart. Tahl instead just feels that he is being protective of her because of her blindness. Because of this, Tahl resents any help from him. So when Tahl leaves for a solo mission and doesn't return on schedule, he defies the council and goes to the planet Apsolon to find her. Naturally his confused apprentice follows. But nothing is as it seems. Six years ago Qui-Gon and Tahl had helped bring peace to the planet of Apsolon. But now their leader has been killed and his twin daughters are in trouble. The people are divided between the Workers and the Absolutes and there is unrest as there are secrets and sabotoge. Will the Jedi be able to help the people of Apsolon? And at the same time, will Qui-Gon be able to search his heart for the answer about his feelings for Tahl?4-0 out of 5 stars A great book for all ages
It is agreat book. It does get a little mushy at the end but besides that it is a great book. Qui-Gon is a little destracted in this book and doean't pay much attention to Obi(besides giving him that pastry). It get confusing for a little bit(barely any but still). ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Strawberry Basket Balloon
Being 13, I'm pretty picky, but this book was awsome! It's so in my shopping cart! I love how the Clocks are so smart, they can make everything out of anything! This book really appeased me, because I love models and mineature things, an the thought of moving, living, mineature people is so thrilling! I really liked how they made a hot-air balloon out of a strawberry basket, a fountain pen, and a plastic (or toy, as it says in the book) balloon. Soooo coool! I'm SO reading the other books (I've already read the book and seen the movie "The Borrowers").

4-0 out of 5 stars The Borrowers Aloft
Again great reading in this series of books.Couldn't put it down.Great for children and adults alike

5-0 out of 5 stars The Borrowers Aloft
I liked this book a lot. I like to read about how resourceful the Borrowers are when they use stuff humans don't need or misplace. It had really nice pictures, too. I recommend this book to kids five years and older. ... Read more
