The Separatist movement and the Galactic Republic are quickly growing further apart. Whispers of war are spreading. When there is an assassination attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala, the Jedi are forced to become involved. However, what they uncover proves to be much more than an assassination plot, but rather what seems to be the promise of an unavoidable galaxy-wide war.

Patricia Wrede, author of every prequel film’s junior novelization, takes Attack of the Clones’ story and puts it on the perfect level for younger readers looking to break into the prequels.
