If you are looking for a high interest, level one reader that would appeal to a child who is perhaps a little reluctant to start reading by himself, this little paperback may be just what you need.

If the child is familiar with the Star Wars series he will be familiar with the characters featured here, and the attack on Maz’s castle will make sense. Finn, Rey, Han and Chewie find themselves in a situation where they must decide if they will make a stand or flee this precarious situation, which also involves BB-8, First Order troopers, Kylo Ren, and Leia.

As you would expect to find with a Level One reader, the brief narrative features simple sentences, word repetition and an easy vocabulary along with vibrant illustrations.

Any child, male or female, who loves the Star Wars stories will probably be more than willing to give this book a try when it comes to mastering reading. High interest material like this is the best way to entice a child to begin reading for himself.
