Young Queen Amidala had a lot on her mind. If she wasnt negotiating with shifty Neimoidians or dodging blasts from droids, she was trying to remember what her name was (is it Amidala or Padmé now!?) and which outfit she needed to be wearing. And all this at just 14 years old! Well, now we can see how she kept a cool head: the plucky teen queen has written a 16-part journal, in her own words, recounting the events surrounding her in
Episode I, The Phantom Menace. (And just so you dont lose track, each entry includes a shot from the movie showing what she had on at the time.) Thanks to Jude Watson (
Star Wars Science Adventures,
Brides of Wildcat County) for helping Her Highness tell this exciting tale. (Ages 9 to 12)

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I first bought this book. I can say now that reading it was a most pleasurable experience. Jude Watson has done an admirable job with this journal. It is the deep introspections of a young girl, told shrewdly with a great deal of empathy, not only for Amidala, but for all the characters that she interacts with. The journal displays Amidala's keen insight, and sharp mind, and examines her motives and decisions with great sensitivity. It tells us a little about her background, and her relationships with the people around her. At the end, I felt as though I had discovered a real person.
