We enjoyed this story about a droid trying to help Anakin.

A very choppy childrens book once again regurgitating the opening sequence of The Phantom Menace that has already been tirelessly done by other authors in different books geared to the young readers. Star Wars being Star Wars by way overdoing things again and again.

Fun kid's book about how a pit droid helps Anakin in the Boonta race. Great for kids who are beginning to read on their own.
