Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (Junior Novel)

Even if you weren’t a youngling when you saw Star Wars for the first time, chances are you felt like a kid again -- the excitement; the wonder; the realization that it didn’t matter that Star Wars was just a movie, because it felt like magic.

Fans of all ages have come to know and love this franchise, especially its original story. A New Hope changed the world. And people -- even younger audiences -- are still discovering it every day.

While there was an adult novelization published just before the movie released, the story that started it all also has a version for young readers, written in simplified but powerful prose that follows Luke Skywalker and his friends as they take on Darth Vader and his Empire.
