    Nice! The young reader books the last time were actually surprisingly really good. I'm always for more resistance books.

    The description you quoted says upper middle grade, not young adult. I'll fix the thread title. :p

    But that's good -- I've high hopes. MG has been great so far, and upper MG is sufficient to tell a great SW tale.

    Hmm, despite the X-wings on the cover, it sounds like these books may follow Resistance troopers on the ground. Interesting stuff!

    A ragtag group of young Resistance Rebel troopers are on the run from the evil First Order Empire in the first book of the Join the Resistance Rebel Alliance upper middle grade series.

    Corrected.

    Oh that's easy -- you can go and edit... oh...wait...

    (I'm sorry I couldn't resist that Bart Simpson moment. Yunzabit you have every right to hate me. I even hate me too. A little.)

    On the contrary, I will not only survive the hill but I will execute a double-envelopment of the enemy as if I were on the Pratzen Heights!

    It also lists the publication date as October this year, while the publisher site lists it as Jan. 17, 2017. [face_thinking]

    It's all very simple: at some point, the book was removed from all official listings. When things like that happen, we naturally assumed the product was cancelled. Apparently, it's back in the official listing, but with a different schedule.

    There, I fixed the article.

    EDIT: While looking on Amazon, I discovered that a book called Planetscapes: A Star Wars Journal is to be published in February 2017. I'm intrigued.
