Kids in love with Star Wars will love it, too. I enjoyed Star Wars Jedi Academy – The Phantom Bully. Kids of that age will identify pretty well with the stereotype. The rivalry with Cronah is pretty contrived, but aren’t most elementary-age rivalries? Cronah is mostly an insecure jerk, and Brown showed that very well. I enjoyed seeing the romance from that perspective: very giggly and mushy and a likely gross-out for those not yet interested in such things. Roan’s romance-light with Gaiana continues to progress, and on a level younger kids will understand. For kids interested in Star Wars, Star Wars Jedi Academy – The Phantom Bully and its prequels are a great introduction-albeit a bit on the light side as far as plot goes. He includes flyers and clippings from school activities, too. As with the previous two volumes, Roan tells the story via his journal entries. Roan has learned a lot, made some really good friends, and even has a crush.Īimed at a middle grade audience, this book contains nothing too deep or convoluted. Star Wars Jedi Academy – The Phantom Bully concludes the Jeffrey Brown graphic novel trilogy that started with Star Wars Jedi Academy. “Star Wars Jedi Academy – The Phantom Bully” by Jeffrey Brown.
