Rebels: Ezra's Gamble

Before he ever left Lothal in search of a greater purpose, Ezra Bridger lived alone with no one to care for but himself. He would do just about anything to survive -- including agreeing to work alongside a bounty hunter called Bossk. This junior novel offers readers a glimpse into Ezra’s life before he meets the rebels that will change his life forever. Junior readers and adult Star Wars fans alike can follow this soon-to-be Jedi on a wild adventure full of danger and excitement as Ezra learns the hard way that if he’s going to survive, he’s not going to be able to do it alone for long.

Fourteen year-old Ezra Bridger lives alone on the Outer Rim planet of Lothal. He fends for himself by picking up odd jobs and hustling the unsuspecting Stormtrooper. But when Arena Day arrives - an underground tournament where mighty beasts battle to the finish and all the swindlers, gamblers and no-gooders come from all corners of the planet to make a profit - Ezra is whisked into an unlikely partnership with the fearsome bounty hunter Bossk and enmeshed in a high-stakes chase against an endless fleet of troopers. Ezra isn't willing to trust anyone, but he soon learns that surviving doesn't always mean just fending for himself.
