Jedi Academy 3: The Phantom Bully

Jeffrey Brown's 'Jedi Academy 3: The Phantom Bully' continues the popular graphic novel series, following young Roan as he navigates his third year at the Jedi Academy. Blending Star Wars lore with the everyday realities of middle school, the book uses a diary format, comics, and illustrations to tell a humorous and heartfelt story. Roan deals with the pressures of Jedi training, maintaining friendships, and confronting a new, elusive bully. It's an excellent choice for children aged 7-11, especially reluctant readers, offering a fun entry point into reading while subtly addressing themes of self-esteem, friendship, and standing up to bullies.
