When Lando Calrissian is caught smuggling valuable furs from the kingdom of Hynestia, he faces a choice: either sit in prison or help Princess Rinetta take the Solstice Globe back to the planet it belongs to. Always up for an adventure and running from those he owes money to, Lando reluctantly agrees to help Rinetta. Flying the Millennium Falcon with his loyal first mate L3-37, Lando takes his best shot at helping Rinetta and keeping himself out of the clutches of his pursuers. Will Lando's luck win the day?
I thought this book was so much fun, and since I am a Star Wars fan I really enjoyed it. Since I've seen the movie Solo, I enjoyed this book even more because I could picture L3 backtalking Lando as well as Lando cheating at the card table. I thought there was a great balance between humor and peril, the characters were vivid, and the dialogue was well written. The writing and the plot are just right for a middle grade novel, and I think kids would enjoy this book as well as older Star Wars fans. I highly recommend this book!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley's Bookish First program. A positive review was not required, and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.
