- "I was lucky enough to have a Star Wars collector for a dad, and my life has been that much richer for being introduced very early on to Luke and his galaxy far, far away. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to retell the story that sparked my imagination and inspired me to be a writer. It's a true honor to help introduce new young readers to this amazing universe for the first time."
- ―Alexandra Bracken
