1: Beware of the Space Pirates by the . . . SOMEONE
The Path to Truth
As Anakin fights vision of fear in the caves of Ilum, a planet where the Jedi create their own lightsabre, he is terrified by the vision of a slave raider attacking his mother on Tatooine. Later, a memory from long ago is recalled, and Anakin has an overwhelming urge to kill the slave raider who harmed his mother. His mission with his master could expose that urge.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, his master, also has a troubling feeling to face. His childhood, Jedi friend has turned away from the Jedi and joined Krayn, the slave raider, and his cronies. As Obi-Wan and Siri face each other, Anakin gets captured and forced again into slavery.
Will Anakin be forced to live and die as a slave, or will there be a little help on the inside? I greatly recomend you to read this greatly written book to find out!

2: Great book for the newbie
Have you watched the Star Wars movies but left the printed word behind? Many of the Star Wars-related books attempt to fill in the blanks between episodes, and to flesh out the characters. This book is about some of Anakin's adventures at age 13, between Episodes I and II. It may involve the first time he kills a man (a slave trader) with a lightsaber, since he builds his first lightsaber in this book. Could it be that these experiences give you a better insight into why Anakin resists the total obedience required by the Jedi Council?
A book for YA, and a fast read. Have fun with this. Other reviews state that this material is covered in large part by other books in the Apprentice series. Since I haven't read any of them, it was new to me!

3: Great Book
This was a great book, and I liked how it tells what happens between Episode 1 and 2, but some parts might be confusing for smaller kids...
I recommend it for kids ages 9-13.

4: Quality science fiction entertainment
Jedi Quest: The Trail Of The Jedi is an unabridged part of the expanding library audiobooks to the delight of legions of Star Wars fans. Anakin Skywalker was made a padowan (apprentice) to the Jedi Knighthood by Qui-Gon Jinn. But with the death of Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin Skywalker is taken under the tutelage of Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi -- who fears he may not be able to succeed at being as good a Jedi Master for young Anakin Skywalker as was Qui-Gon Jinn. This is the background to an adventure that includes striving to survive a squad ruthless and competitive bounty hunters seeking to ensnare the Jedi's while on a training exercise with their colleagues on a strange planet far from help. Jonathan Davis superbly narrates Jude Watson's original story and provides not only 2 hours and 38 minutes of "theater of the mind" style quality science fiction entertainment, but adds substantially to the growing body of lore and legend that comprises the Star Wars universe. Also enthusiastically recommended is another superbly recorded, fully unabridged, Star Wars audio book written by Jude Watson and narrated by Jonathan Davis: Jedi Quest: The Way Of The Apprentice.
