Queen Amidala (Star Wars Episode 1, Journal #2)

In order to save her planted and the people she holds dear to her heart, Queen Amidala must keep her identity a secret, in an action packed novel based on the blockbuster new film. Original. Movie tie-in. Amazon.com Review. Young Queen Amidala had a lot on her mind. If she wasn't negotiating with shifty Neimoidians or dodging blasts from droids, she was trying to remember what her name was (is it Amidala or Padm© now!?) and which outfit she needed to be wearing. And all this at just 14 years old! Well, now we can see how she kept a cool head: the plucky teen queen has written a 16-part journal, in her own words, recounting the events surrounding her in Episode I, The Phantom Menace. (And just so you don't lose track, each entry includes a shot from the movie showing what she had on at the time.) Thanks to Jude Watson (Star Wars Science Adventures, Brides of Wildcat County) for helping Her Highness tell this exciting tale. (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul Hughes
