Jedi Academy #1: Jedi Academy by Jeffrey Brown (author)

This incredible, original story captures all the humour, awkwardness, fun and frustrations of middle school – all told through one boy’s comics, journal entries, letters, doodles and newspaper clippings.

Roan’s one dream is to leave home and attend Pilot Academy like his older brother, father and grandfather. But just as Roan is mysteriously denied entrance to Pilot School, he is invited to attend Jedi Academy – a school that he didn’t apply to and only recruits children when they are just a few years old. That is, until now . . .

This inventive novel follows Roan’s first year at Jedi Academy where, under the tutelage of Master Yoda, he learns that he possesses more strength and potential than he could have ever dreamed of.
