The DK Star Wars Readers series provides a wonderful opportunity for parents and teachers to promote development of young children's reading skills and motivation to read. We want young children to WANT to read! Star Wars has become a familiar part of our culture with children instantly recognizing the characters on book covers, TV and in the movies. Now they can add more Star Wars action to their collections! Star Wars: Darth Maul Sith Apprentice introduces older readers to the sinister secrets of the Sith warrior, Darth Maul. They will learn about his mission to defeat Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his deadly array of vehicles and weapons like his Sith speeder bike. Watch out for his double-bladed lightsaber!
A brief look at the backstory and return of the Sith after 1000 years in hiding. Political intrigue, and a plan to regain power over the senate and destroy the Jedi, Darth Sidious, the most powerful Sith of all uses his apprentice, Darth Maul to put his plan into motion.
These are definitely on the higher end of chapter book reading. A little wordy for chapter books, but FULL of great pictures and reference to some favorite storylines. My child reads the headings & text by the pictures, and I read the rest. He really enjoys the Star Wars series and this breaks it down with background info and a short version of the story.
