Hello! Thanks for clicking. I'm Jude Watson, and I write for kids. It's the best job in the world.

As a writer, I wear two hats. As Judy Blundell I write for Young Adults, and I won the National Book Award for my novel, WHAT I SAW AND HOW I LIED.

I write for middle-graders while wearing my Jude Watson hat, which is a bit more colorful. Maybe it even has a spinning propeller on top. I love to write mystery-adventures with thrilling twists and oddball characters and kids who find themselves in impossible situations doing incredible things.

I do all this from a chair, in a little room, in a not-big house, in a small town on Long Island. I like to read and I like to draw (badly) and my idea of excitement is to lace up my sneakers and walk to the harbor and back. I'm a nervous flyer and though I am respectful of the physics of modern aviation I also secretly suspect that it is only the unified belief of passengers that tons of metal can hurtle through the air that keeps a plane in flight. I am also not terribly comfortable on suspension bridges. And don't even ask me to go on a ferris wheel.

I am listing these fears just to clue you in: I'm a physical coward. I'm also a creature of habit. Once in awhile I go a little crazy and take a different route to the grocery store.

Still, I'll throw incredible amounts of danger at my characters. And I'll cackle maniacally while I do it.

Other random facts: During deadline periods I am deeply committed to popcorn and apples.

Every summer I go to Cape Cod, and every summer I wish I had a whole month there. I never do.

I am waiting for the day I'll see someone reading a book of mine in an airport or a train or a diner. I will most likely embarrass myself by cavorting and singing "That's ME!"

Happy Reading!

This series gets better by the book (so far anyway). I have to say this is a well written series, even if it is geared for a "younger" audience. Still not totally sold on having Boba in here, but I don't feel as bad about it. I still almost wish they had used a different bounty hunter, or use an Inquisitor. Maybe he'll grow on me as the series progresses. Don't get me wrong, this is only a minor gripe, but it's the only strike I personally have against the series. Ferus is a good main character, and Trever is as well. The overall storyline is well conceived and well presented. Hopefully we'll see more of Obi-Wan and almost as much of Qui-Gon. It has me hooked to find out more.

Kay i know his is not boook he, but this book felt like the pending t an exciting and new hand off that Watson knows how to handle. The Dark Warning starts showing some deeper action, while tracing the origins f the rebellion prior to rebel. Ferus and Obi wan perspectives help keep things moving, the references bring nostalgia to the mix and the mentality is packed with the wisdom of the Jedi that she established long ago in the apprentice series. Again the series suffers from being short each installment, the actin scenes short and reduced to ambiguous details that make you use your imagination with limited guidance. It’s definitely a young adult novel but it works and jus needs more time. Fortunately we have the next installments ready to go so let’s get n t the next one.

The continuing story of the last of the Jedi & what Obi-Wan did before episode IV is a great story. Since this time period is considered "Canon", I think that Marvel, who has picked up the comics/graphic novels from Dark Horse, should start a series based on this story as it would be fascinating to view this story & read it through that medium. I will be emailing Marvel to suggest this, and I encourage everyone who enjoys this part of the Star Wars saga to do the same! May the Force be with you...

By only real concern with this series, which I am enjoying quite a bit, is that we already know that the quest the main character finds himself on is doomed. It does not read like it is actually a part of the expanded universe as we know it, but more like fan fiction. That being said, it is inexpensive and a quick read, and well written. I will buy the entire series and read it.

My son enjoys reading (even if he won't admit it), but sometimes it's a struggle to get him to read new material. He's read many of the Tree House Mysteries, but he's really beyond them. These Star Wars books are more challenging, but not greatly so. He's challenged, but not frustrated. I've read many Star Wars books and read this one as well. The author keeps the story moving and fast paced enough to remain enjoyable for readers of all ages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good bridge book
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2013

This book was all about introducing a new character as a bridge to additional books in the series. While I liked it the story seemed somewhat disjointed trying to include Obi Wan along with multiple new characters who are not yet fully developed.

Jude Watson does it again, where it was left off at, the Red Twins system has Boba Fett searching for exiled Jedi Master Obi-Wan-Kenobi and Ferus Olin, until they find out that Trevor Flume is on-board, and then there is D'Harran (who never leaves Ferus alone) but an amazing battle between Boba Fett and Obi-Wan-Kenobi, as soon as they get off the Red Twin system. Ferus has a crash landing down on Acherin, where a humanoid called Raina Quill nearly shoots them, all three of them are led into the ancient city of Eluthan, but the Empire is not trustworthy, but Ferus wants to join the cause of a rebellion when Obi-Wan-Kenobi is able to get off Planet to search Polis Massa. (For Padme's, Luke's and Leia's safety) a battle between the inquisitor Sancor gets in his way while Ferus's mission is to go to Illum and get Jedi Knight Garen, but with Storm Troopers around, it's going to be a hard job, the mission is harder to get past visions that are Siri (his old Jedi Knight Master) and Anakin Skywalker when he used to be 16 years old. But then there's Darth Vader...it's amazing to get past that old man, but with a new lightsaber since the Clone Wars, he's ready to save more Jedi, you can guess where Obi-Wan-Kenobi has to go next, but after going to the Nixor system for supplies, Ferus swears to find every surviving Jedi.

Une superbe continuation à la série Last of the Jedi. L'anglais est facile donc je vous le conseille vraiment même si vous ne lisez pas super bien cette langue. Il se passera sans doute beaucoup de temps avant qu'une traduction paraisse. On continue donc à suivre les aventures de Ferus, Obi-Wan et Trever, qu'on avait laissé sous la menace imminente d'un jeune mais talentueux Boba Fett. Beaucoup de choses très intéressantes dans ce bouquin qui montre que tous les Jedi n'ont pas sucombé à Order 66.

im zweiten Band der Last of the Jedi Reihe.
Obi-Wan Kenobi muß die imperiale Inquisition von Polis Massa ablenken, um die Existenz der Skywalker-Kinder geheimzuhalten. Gleichzeitig werden er und Ferus Olin noch immer von Boba Fett verfolgt. Außerdem scheint noch ein weiterer Jedi, ein alter Freund Obi-Wan Kenobis, die Auslöschung des Ordens überlebt zu haben...
Auch wenn Jude Watson eigentlich für Kinder schreibt, ihre Bücher (wie auch die Jedi Apprentice und die Jedi Quest Reihe zeigen) sind spannend und die Charaktere gut gezeichnet.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Find them and gather them. Make them safe."
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2005

THE STORY:
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ferus Olin flee from the determined bounty hunter Boba Fett, but they soon realise that their destinies lie along different paths. Obi-Wan must secure the secret of Luke and Leia's existance whilst Ferus decides to gather the scattered remnants of the Jedi Order, beginning in the crystal caves of Ilum.
WHAT'S GOOD:
This series is off to a flying start and, after just two books, is already better than Jedi Apprentice and Jedi Quest. Obi-Wan continues his voyage of self-discovery as he deals with his new role in the galaxy and Ferus is developing into another great character as he confronts his painful past. This book is the perfect transition as it becomes apparent that Ferus and not Obi-Wan will be the focus of the series (something of which I'm actually very glad - despite being an Obi-Wan fan). We also get a foreshadowing of what is to come as Ferus outlines his plans to gather the surviving Jedi. The best bit of the entire book is where Ferus confronts a vision of Anakin and tell the vision that, in leaving the Jedi Order, he found himself. The vision of Anakin replies that he too found himself, before it is replaced with another vision; a vision of Darth Vader. The vision of Vader tells Ferus that he lies in his future, perhaps promising a climatic battle later in the series.
WHAT'S BAD:
Trever is a bit irritating, really. I was also a bit disappointed by Obi-Wan's confrontation with Inquisitor Sancor.
