Adapted for young people, this edition of Enrique's Journey is written by Sonia Nazario and based on the adult book of the same name. It is the true story of Enrique, a teenager from Honduras, who sets out on a journey, braving hardship and peril, to find his mother, who had no choice but to leave him when he was a child and go to the United States in search of work. Enrique's story will bring to light the daily struggles of migrants, legal and otherwise, and the complicated choices they face simply trying to survive and provide for the basic needs of their families. The issues seamlessly interwoven into this gripping nonfiction work for young people are perfect for common core discussion. Includes an 8-page photo insert, as well as an epilogue that describes what has happened to Enrique and his family since the adult edition was published.

"A heartwrenching account. Provides a human face, both beautiful and scarred, for the undocumented. A must read."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred

"Nazario's straightforward . . . journalistic writing style largely serves the complex, sprawling story effectively. A valuable addition to young adult collections."--School Library Journal
"This powerfully written survival story personalizes the complicated, pervasive, and heart-wrenching debates about immigration and immigrants' rights and will certainly spark discussion in the classroom and at home."--Booklist

Good crossover story. It is good to see stories that happen in between the main stories. Things make more sense

Vader may be Down, but he is far, far from out.
Format: Paperback
I have been consistently pleased with the Darth Vader and Star Wars comic series, and the Vader Down crossover kicks it up to 11. It is easy, watching the movies, to forget how powerful Vader truly is. Anakin Skywalker was a prophesied Jedi Hero, or phenomenal raw talent. In only a few years he outclassed Jedi Knights who had been training two or three times as long as he had, but in the Original Trilogy, we have very few glimpses of that power. Not so in Vader Down. I won't spoil it, but let's just say Darth Vader has an impressive kill count. Within the lightsaber duels, fire fights, and interstellar dog fights, Vader Down (And the rest of the Darth Vader series) still finds time to build, if not sympathy, at least understanding for Darth Vader as a character. He is still a villain, but you find yourself rooting for his success more often than not. Overall, a phenomenal read. I cannot recommend it enough.

Surprisingly Great Story!
Format: Kindle
This TPB takes place right after the events of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Darth Vader comes out of hyperspace in his lone TIE Interceptor nose to nose with 2 squadrons of Rebel X Wings. Excellent action sequences ensue. This is my first acquaintance with the Star Wars Universe in Marvel comics (apart from the 80's books) and if Vader Down is an accurate representation of the quality of work, it's comparable to the fantastic job Marvel did on Stephen King's Dark Tower prequels. This was also my first digital purchase of any comic for my Kindle. While having a hard copy of the comic would be a lot preferable, the $3.99 purchase price was a bargain to own the story.

Sooooo good!
Format: Kindle
I love how this book is set between the first two original movies. Vader is just amazing and Doctor Aphra is one of those characters I have fell in love with. I honestly felt like I was reading a scene from a movie. Such an amazing book.

Good, but violent - parent discretion advised
Format: Paperback
I got this because of great reviews and because I am a huge Star Wars fan. First thing, this is not for younger readers as it is extremely violent. But overall I found it highly enjoyable. The artwork is fantastic. Vader is a total bad###. The only part I didn't like, and the reason I'm taking off a star, is there was one character who (trying not to reveal any spoilers here) is essentially a mash-up of two other characters from the Star Wars saga...like somebody's kid popped the head off of one action figure and stuck it on another and the author saw that and said, hey, that would be the perfect plot twist for this story. Nevertheless, it was a fun read and I recommend it to fans of Star Wars and Darth Vader in particular.
