This review is from: A New Threat (Star Wars: Boba Fett, Book 5) (Paperback)

I've found this series (recommended by my 10 year old) to be interesting. It shows the transformation of a 10 year old boy into the bounty hunter who delivers Han Solo to Jabba the Hut. It shows that no one is all bad and depicts Boba in a sympathic light. It's got some good morals, as all Star Wars stories do, without sugar coating some of the not so nice human emotions and actions. Overall a good book for kids. I don't have any complaints about the language or names used--most Star Wars fans won't be phased by them even if they are kids.

This review is from: A New Threat (Star Wars: Boba Fett, Book 5) (Paperback)

My son reads like a maniac, so it is always a challenge to find him books he hasn't read yet! He loves the whole Boba Fett Series. For Star Wars, this series is not really complicated. Some of the other ones are very thick books and the concepts get really deep. The Boba Fett's are quick enjoyable books.

My grandson loves this series of books....but he had not had to do a real book report until he started middle school. His first one was not good but then he decided to do the next one on this book and he got an "A"!
Excellent reading for Star Wars fans! (my grandson is 11)
