Customer Reviews

here's one for the girls (and boys)

"Queen in Disguise" was one of the books that came out during the Episode I merchandising blitz -the likes of which the world had never seen. In any case, this title seems to have become a forgotten part of the Jedi Reader family. It is unfortunate since "Queen in Disguise" is one of the few Star Wars stories to feature a heroine. The female protagonist is courageous, wise and down-to-earth. These are great qualities to cultivate in young girls. While the book has a feminine slant, that's not say that its 'girly' since there's enough action to keep the boys engaged. John Alvin's illustrations are beautiful while Monica Kulling's story is well-written for children between second and third grade. "Queen in Disguise" is a high quality Star Wars book for the young reader.
