Among other children's books, http://www.starwars7news.com/2014/11/first-official-books-for-star-wars-the-force-awakens-revealed.html]this[/url] listing is for a "Star Wars Episode VII character novel" for young readers, hardcover, priced at $12.99. I wonder, will this be in the vein of Fry's Servants of the Empire? At $13, it's got to be more than just those picture books like they had with the Prequels and TCW. Time will tell, I guess.
With the way salespeople frequently market stuff, an "Episode VII Character Novel" might not even be about Episode VII, but be nothing more exciting than Heir to the Jedi, which "is" an "Episode VII Character Novel" because it's about Luke Skywalker, a character, who happens to later be in Episode VII.
Yeah but there's also listings for three separate Episode VIII novels about Luke, Leia, and Han. So it's probably about one of the newbies.
