Bookroo's summary

Roan dreams of Pilot Academy, but fate leads him to Jedi Academy instead. Under Master Yoda's guidance, Roan navigates the trials of middle school, discovering unexpected strengths. As he learns to wield a lightsaber and the Force, Roan faces the awkwardness of dances and the mystery of his new path. Will he find his true place in the galaxy, or will the challenges of Jedi training prove too great? Join Roan on a journey filled with humor, discovery, and the ultimate test of courage.

From the publisher

This incredible, original story captures all of the humor, awkwardness, fun, and frustrations of middle school – all told through one boy’s comics, journal entries, letters, doodles, and newspaper clippings. The setting? A galaxy far, far away… Roan’s one dream is to leave home and attend Pilot Academy like his older brother, father, and grandfather. But just as Roan is mysteriously denied entrance to Pilot School, he is invited to attend Jedi Academy – a school that he didn’t apply to and only recruits children when they are just a few years old. That is, until now… This inventive novel follows Roan’s first year at Jedi Academy where, under the tutelage of Master Yoda, he learns that he possesses more strength and potential than he could have ever dreamed. Oh, and he learns other important things too – like how to make a baking soda volcano, fence with a lightsaber, slow dance with a girl, and lift boulders with the Force.
