Summary

The High Republic continues in this fast-paced adventure that picks up from Escape from Valo , perfect for fans of sci-fi action. Think Sailor Moon meets Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting by way of Star Wars . . . with a dash of Last Kids on Earth !

The fearsome Nihil continue to spread chaos inside the Occlusion Zone, aided by the mysterious creatures called the Nameless that feed on the Force itself. When the people of an embattled world plead for help with the Nihil threat, a team of both Republic Defense Coalition members and Jedi--including Ram Jomaram--is sent to their aid.

The team soon discovers that their ship contains four stowaways--Jedi younglings Kildo, TepTep, and Jamil, and Zenny Greylark, a senator's daughter determined to find her sister. When a distress call comes in from a nearby planet, Jedi Master Adi-Li Carro agrees to take the stowaways to investigate. There, they will encounter a young Hutt on a mission, a stranger with mysterious motives, and the creatures they fear the most. . . .

This next installment in the New York Times best-selling series is written by award-winning author Zoraida Córdova and features six full-color pages of art!

School Library Journal Review

Gr 5--8--Ram Jomaram and the three younglings he rescued in book one are now training on Coruscant after their victory over the Nihil, who are still are intent on taking over the galaxy, and are far from defeated. Their ultimate weapon, The Nameless, is a shadowy creature that bleeds living things of all Force energy, leaving only dust. This second volume of "The High Republic" series checks in on Ram and his charges and then expands to include several new characters: Jamil, a Jedi unexpectedly thrown into his first mission; Zenny, a senator's daughter who hopes to rescue her older sister; and Churo the Hutt, who unlike his Hutt relatives is gentle, compassionate, and curious. When their paths are thrown together on an ill-fated mission, this diverse group of young folks must work together to survive and get back home. A panoramic view of the narrative is woven by third person narration that hovers over the main crew and many others, including a surprisingly complex villain. Thrilling escape and battle scenes are paired with significant character growth, particularly for Churo, the very endearing Hutt. VERDICT The stakes are high, and the consequences are dire in this very engaging sequel.
