Bookroo's summary

Adam Gidwitz retells Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in the second person, putting the reader in Luke Skywalker's place. Moving objects with your mind and wielding a lightsaber sound exciting, but Jedi training is hard work, and the galaxy is full of enemies who want you dead. The story follows the Rebels' escape from the Empire, Luke's training with Yoda and his confrontation with Darth Vader.
