Book Summary:
The main character dreams of attending pilot school, and is assigned to Jedi Academy instead. At his school away from home, new challenges he must face.

There are two other books in this series, and then a new set of books called A New Class, written by Jarrett Krosoczka. These are styled similarly to the original trilogy.

Book Review:
I liked this book a lot more than I expected - there was far more character development in a book that I thought would mainly contain cartoon drawings of spaceships. There is a Harry Potter-esque sense of meeting new people and attending various space classes, and it keeps the human challenge about making friends, competing in contests, and learning the ropes in a new environment. Besides, there are cartoon drawings of spaceships, so that's a bonus.
