I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
Not only is this cute and heartwarming, but for children who are struggling with peer pressure and fighting with friends, this touches upon those subjects. It's a direct sequel, but can potentially be read as a stand-alone.
It's told via diary entries, graphic sequences - like mini-comics - and notes and tells the story of Roan's second year at Jedi Academy. It's more about his friendships, though, just as the first book was more about him settling in than about the Star Wars Universe, or really expanding on it.
I really wanted to see what this looked like on a Kindle Paperwhite, and it was $1.99 at the time I purchased it. Well worth it, as I flew through this and enjoyed it very much. It's more readable than I expected, too. Crisp, clear, and nothing is small enough that I had trouble reading the dialogue.
