tammyw Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 My son loves Star Wars (I'm now a born again fan!!) I think he would enjoy reading the series but I have no idea which books and in which order. Any suggestions? Amazon seems confusing to me.

Junie Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Are you looking for books that the movies are based on, or just any books with Star Wars characters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Star Wars Clone Wars Adventures by Dark Horse Comics (Nice Graphic Novels) If you are studying Shakespeare then these books by Ian Doescher:Verily a New Hope The Empire Striketh Back The Jedi Doth Return Star Wars Jedi Academy series by Jeffrey Brown. Also check out his star wars themed picture books. Not as popular. But if he is into reading to himself this might be a good level: Star Wars series by Paul Davids and Hollace Davids Star Wars Omnibus Volume 1 and 2 Edited January 10, 2016 by Julie Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 We really enjoyed the Star Wars books by Jude Watson. The Ian Doescher books were really good as well, but perhaps a little advanced for a 9 year old. We used them as an introduction to Shakespeare.

He's a good reader, so he can handle good literature :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, yeah, I wasn't sure how to put it, but basically he can handle pretty high levels :) I just requested a few of the Jude Watson books! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forty-two Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 My 9yo dd has read and enjoyed the Young Jedi Knights series, by Kevin J Anderson and Rebecca Moesta (although they don't match Force Awakens), the novelizations of the movies, the Jedi Apprentice series (about a young Obi-Wan, set prior to Phantom Menace), the Jedi Quest series (about a young Anakin, set between Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones), and Timothy Zahn's Heir to Empire trilogy (also doesn't match Force Awakens, but they are so dang awesome everyone ought to read them ;)).
