Star Wars: The Snare: 1 (Star Wars: Adventures in Wild Space)

Looks great, I am sure my grandson will absolutely love it, as he is rather obsessed with everything Star Wars - at the moment. It will further encourage him to read, which is what we are all after, all things considered. He already is an avid reader of books which is what this is all about, when it comes for a seven years old.

Looks great and my son should love it

Good

ok

Excellent great purchase my son loves it!

And there you have it – a brother and sister trying to find out where their parents might be held, alone apart from a lizard-monkey called Morq and a grumpy robot called CR-8R, or Crater to his young owners. This adventure story starts full-tilt and rockets along without letting the pace drop, providing plenty of thrills and spills along the way.While there isn’t a huge amount of in-depth characterisation, Milo and Lina are both appealing, showing courage and determination in the face of danger, while still badly missing their parents. They also argue with each other, which I really liked and thought it showed a nice slice of reality that children would recognise. There are also regular touches of humour, mostly involving the grumpy robot and monkey-lizard, which helped to lighten the mood in amongst the whizz-bang action and constant activity.Scattered amongst the text are a few line illustrations which Oscar really appreciated and which he wanted to discuss, given they all invariably depicted yet another action scene. That said, the writing generally reads well, although there were more typos that I’m happy to see in a book aimed at newly independent readers.Was the climax satisfying? Oh, yes, Oscar was genuinely excited and begged me to complete the book before he had to go home. While he was a bit disappointed that it ended on something of a cliffhanger, he was delighted that we had the second book and immediately asked me if I could get the rest of the series. Which I’ve done. This isn’t beautifully crafted prose, but the setting and characters have struck a chord with someone who hasn’t been all that keen to listen to most of my reasonably extensive library of children’s books. I’ll take that, while mentally blessing the bright spark who reckoned there would be a number of boys who’d be delighted to once more get immersed in a Star Wars adventure particularly aimed at them.

a great set of books for young Star Wars fans. They are also a good introduction for those not familiar with Star WarsMy three sons who are star wars mad have been hooked on these books. They are easy to read and full of adventure. Aimed at children aged 8 years plus however my 7 year old has managed them with some help.

The Adventures in Wild Space books are suitable for key stage two as it contains more words and lots of cliff hangers and suspense-ended chapters. My son enjoys reading them as he finds them easy to understand. He was able to finish the book in an hour. He loves reading about how they set out to find their parents. There is a lot of action and excitement.

Formato decisamente carino per il prodotto, dimensioni generose e correlato da illustrazioni in bianco e nero per accompagnare la lettura.Primo vero capitolo della serie (dopo il prologo The Escape), questa pubblicazione si rivela un'onesta e semplice lettura mirata a un giovane pubblico.

This is a fast-paced, fun first installment in a series aimed at younger readers. It has the same mix of action, drama and humor that we expect from a Star Wars story, featuring younger protagonists with whom younger readers can identify. Continuing on from an e-book prologue, this is less a complete story in its own right as it is an episode in a longer story, but it comes to an end at an effective "pause" moment, while whetting the appetite for the next book in the series. While adult Star Wars fans may be more satisfied with the novels written for them, I found this to be a fun, quick read that fulfilled my need for a Star Wars story one evening. I plan on reading the next book in the series, because I want to see what happens to these characters, and the answers to the mysteries this book sets up.

Great fun series

Nice quick read
