4.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars, July 17, 2000
Recommendation This book takes place in the Tatooine. I would recommend this book for People between the ages of 11-14 because it presents a wide of survival events in Tatooine that were both exciting and intense. A reason that this book was exciting was the things that Jacen and Jaina ran into in space. "Jacen said that this is the best trip to Alderaan because they did something for their mother. Then they went to their mother to give her the rock she said what is this they said a rock from Alderaan. I recommendation this book to people who likes to read Star Wars because if you do not like Star Wars you will not like this book. "Dad," Jaina said. "Jacen and I have been trying to come with just the perfect gift for Mom's birthday. That means that they love their mother a lot "Then Leia said that if Jacen and Jaina don't work together they will not get back." That means that they will not get back at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book U should read this book, December 20, 1999
By josh nolan (latham,New York) - See all my reviews
I loved this book it is very suspendful. But the book wasn't as good as all the other Young Jedi Knights. The book I think u should read would have to be Jedi Under Siege. This book has a descent amount of action in it. I especially like the part when Zekks friend dies.

2.0 out of 5 stars Happy birthday Leia; oh, you're not important Luke, October 29, 1999
By A Customer
Although I have always read the Star Wars books, I thought that this book really, truley sucked. First of all, you don't just go out into space and expect to find a hunk of a planet that blew up twenty years ago. Second of all, isn't Boba Fett fifty by now? And how did he get his armor back? In tales from Jabba's palace, he was found naked in the sand. And last but not least: What about Luke's birthday. I hate neglegence to the main character in side books. First they make him seem like a wuss; then they forget his birthday! If it was an adoption thing that they were celebrating, they could of at least said something about it. If you're nine years old or less, fine, read it. But anyone over ten might as well just wait for another Star Wars book to come out. This one just didn't have the usual Star Wars spunk.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little too much of a cliff hanger.
This was an ok read overall. It was, as the others in this series, a quick read. With this being a set up for five book story arc it was a little uneventful. Read more
