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

3-0 out of 5 stars Understanding the Unknown
Understanding the Unknown begins with David telling the tail of how him and his four friends get shipwrecked and fall to Neptune's world.Here they must kill sharks, tell jokes, and do daring feets to find their way back to land.They start out by gitting on Neptune's good side and sabotozing Merlin's plan to take Senna.They then steal water carriages from Mermen and try to make it to the surface again.They find themsilves in Atlantis where they end up in court for illegal entry into Atlantis.They tell their tai and go to the surface to then find another moster awaiting for them.4-0 out of 5 stars An excellent series edition...
While all of the books in this series are exciting, this one I really didn't want to put down!While I didn't think it was better than the previous one, Inside the Illusion, this was definatelly worth the read.What made this book special was actually what originally gave the series it's charm, and what's been missing for several books.The hilarious interactions between the main characters!At times I was laughing out loud!Anyway, David narrates this time as the kids try to make their way back to Olympus by tagging along with a few Romans on their ship.A storm strikes suddenly, courtesy of Neptune, the angry Roman god of oceans, and when their boat sinks out from under them, they find themselves in the middle of Atlantis, caught in a war between Neptune and Poseidon.Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this book if you haven't read the others, or to kids younger than thirteen or so, since it gets pretty intense at times.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not the Best, but Okay
I started reading the book awhile ago and it wasn't as good as the other nine books, so I quit reading it.I just got it again and finally finished it.It was better then I thought it would be.The series is about five kids trapped in Everworld, a world of ancient gods and their domains.Each book is about a different place in Everworld."Understand the Unknown" is about an underwater world with the god, Neptune.David, one of the five, narrated the story which is about the kids trying to get to the surface.I thought the book was 'just average' because there wasn't much adventure and it was hard to get into it.When I finally got into it, it was better.The series is great. ...

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

4-0 out of 5 stars Breath of Fresh Air
There is a familiar and sometimes wearying continuity in the Animorphs series. Each book is from a single point of view in this order: Jake, Rachel, Tobias/Ax, Cassie, Marco. This book is a breath of fresh air because it is from the PoV Visser One.
5-0 out of 5 stars Insight Into the Yeerks
I'd been a fan of the "Animorphs" series throughout and read all of the books, but up until now, I'd never had the opportunity to read this one until now. This book reveals the full details on how the Yeerk known throughout Visser One as most of the series came to Earth and how the plans for Earth's conquest came to be.
3-0 out of 5 stars Visser
I have wanted to read this book after I finished # something in Animorphs. I have heard great reviews about this book, but I don't think that is all cracked up to be. Sure it has a couple of good spots, but it gets boring after about the third page. U DO NOT have to read this book to finish the Animorph series. All the other books r awsome! ... Read more

Parents should be aware of the suggestive comments in chapter one and the crude comments in the last chapter before buying this book for their kids.It is disapointing that the author had to rely onthis stuff instead of being really creative.It's going into the trash at our house.

5-0 out of 5 stars EverWorld is the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone says that I shouldn't read Ever World because I am 10. But I love Ever world and if you read this book you'll feel like your there whith them !

4-0 out of 5 stars Evil gods, ugly cyclops, death, and destruction
Can you imagine a beautiful land where magic rules with nymphs, fairies, and leprechauns? Looks can be deceiving. This wonderful place is ruled by evil gods, ugly Cyclops, death, and destruction. This destruction may become worse or it may cease when seven kids from New York appear there. The name of the novel as you probably already know is Gateway to the Gods which is part of a series called Everworld written by K.A. Applegate. This particular story takes place in the Greek part of Everworld, where it's always temperate, always light, and always summer. It takes place in 2000 but the technology dates way back to the 1800's. There's no need for technology when there's magic. The protagonist is Christopher Hitchcock, he's funny at the wrong times but brave and outgoing at the right times. He's about seventeen, it doesn't say in the book but he can drive, and also goes to high school. The main conflict for Chris was to hold off enemy troops at Mt. Olympus which becomes impossible.

5-0 out of 5 stars Bring on volume 3!!"ABSOLUTE MIDNIGHT"
This book (along with book one, ABARAT) is surely going to go down in history as a "classic series" of books. It's the second in a 5 part series aimed at young adults and adults in general. Book one sets up the story and even though that book leaves alot unanswered this second book delivers on the promises of the first. The only problem is that we still have to wait until october 2007 (at the earliest!) for the 3rd volume!!. Clive Barker is currently writing an adults only novel at present called "The Scarlet Gospel" which he will hand in to his publishers toward the end of 2006 and then he will begin writing ABARAT 3: ABSOLUTE MIDNIGHT. It's worth a mention on how well produced these books are, rich glossy pages which contain some truly bizzare pieces of art work and even under the dust jacket the books have superb cover boards. Everything about these books has quality about them, they are heavy to which adds to thier sumptuous feeling. Buy the hardcovers for your collection and buy the mass market paperbacks (no illusrations) for reading copies. Im certain book 3 will go one better than the first 2 in the series and I for one, can't wait!

5-0 out of 5 stars The amazing story gets up to speed
Picking up right where the first book left off, Candy Quackenbush continues her travels throughout the wonderfully strange world of Abarat, in search of an explanation of why she arrived there in the first place. Christopher Carrion, the Lord of Midnight, is far from happy with the failing attempts of his henchmen Criss-Cross Man in trying to capture Candy, but decides to give him one final chance. Carrion is convinced that the little girl knows some secret that will destroy his ultimate dream of creating eternal night on the Abarat archipelago. Candy will need the help of Malingo, the geshrat she rescued from the clutches of the evil Wizard Kaspar Wolfswinkel, to fight against the Lord of Midnight's evil freaks.
5-0 out of 5 stars lover of clive and his art
I have loved Clive Barker since I was maybe 16, now I am 29 and I still love him and reread his books every year.With the Abarat series, I at first was thinking from the reviews that it was for young people, but Clive makes reading his work enjoyable and engrossing for all.Granted, I read the book in a day as well as the second one the next day, but his art is imaginative and it gives you a glimpse into this master storytellers minds eye.I love the storyline and cannot wait for the next parts to come out.For those of you, who think he is only"HORROR", you are very wrong. ...

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 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!

4-0 out of 5 stars Bionicle Series not just a toy promotion
At first glance, a skeptical parent would think the various bionicle book series were just a protional idea of the Lego company to sell more figures and sets. However, I've been sold... on the stories. I have enjoyed the action packed tales as much as my seven year old son has - we both have been excited for the release of not just the new bionicle toys, but the the next books in the series as well. There is a rich background to these assemblages of plastic that will feed your child's imagination during creative play and will foster their interest in reading. Definitly recommend!

5-0 out of 5 stars A Good start for a Good series!
I loved it. The Toa Nuva have finally met their match and Jaller is upset because the Turaga and Toa treat them like they're helpless and vulnerable. The basic message, You don't have to be a Toa to be a hero. ... Read more

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.
