Let's Talk About These Star Wars Books

If you get any of the publishing newsletters you probably have seen ads for these new MG/YA re-tellings of the three original Star Wars stories (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi).  I am SO VERY EXCITED ABOUT THESE!!

I am excited for the young girl who first saw Star Wars when she was 6; I am excited for the mom whose sons love Star Wars;  I am excited for the grown up woman who tears up while watching the new Star Wars movie's trailer; and I am VERY EXCITED for the middle school librarian who is going to have three new books to engage readers with!!

First of all, LOOK AT THE COVERS!


These are AMAZING COVERS!  I am in awe at the simplicity, yet they are so striking!

And the authors--Alexandra Bracken, Adam Gidwitz, Tom Angleberger--talk about some serious YA and MG cred!  I am thinking Disney hit these out of the PARK!

I have not read the Sneak Peeks because I don't want to whet my appetite until I have them in my hands and can finish them, but if you want to read the sneak peeks, go here!  

You can bet that I am ordering 3 or 4 copies of each for my library and getting them the day they come out.  

SO EXCITED!!
