This is just what the title suggests. It is a retelling of the movie, The Force Awakens, written for a middle grade audience. It was surprisingly well done. The story is true to the movie, but adds a few little details that were left out of the movie. For instance, how does Poe Dameron get back to the rebel base? How did Rey learn to fly a star fighter? What happened to Finn before his fateful battle at Jakku? You can find the answers in this book. Kogge keeps the degree of detail for the combat scenes appropriate for the target age group. He resists making Rey and Finn's relationship a romance, and keeps it at a friendship. I actually haven't ordered the paper form of this book for my collection yet, but I will when I get back to work tomorrow. (192 p.)
