K-Gr 2—Beginning readers will be able to learn about Darth Vader, the Sith, the Rebel movement, and how the Empire is ruled in this title from DK's new leveled reading series. The layout is uncluttered, with large text and computer graphic images depicting the likes of Darth Vader, Jedi Ahsoka Tano, and other familiar Rebel and Imperial characters. Children will love the subject matter and enjoy the accessible reading experience. The book finishes with a quiz, index, glossary, and note for parents. The high interest of this topic makes this a palatable introduction to the typical format and attributes of standard nonfiction, with diagrams of Darth Vader's suit and a glossary filled with general and Star Wars-specific vocabulary (for example, betrayal and Jedi Knight).
VERDICT For collections in need of easy readers on pop culture topics; this book will fly off the shelf faster than the Millennium Falcon.
