Roan's experiences as a new student at the Jedi Academy turn out to be much the same as those anyone might face when starting middle school, albeit learning to use the Force and building a light saber sound snazzier. Told via cartoon strips, journal entries, letters, emails, and more, this is a slight, conventional school story of finding friends and building self-confidence.
