Title: Star Wars: Jedi Academy: Return of the Padawan
Publisher: Scholastic

The third installment in the series covers Roan Novachez's third and final year at Jedi Academy middle school. Roan is nervous about his third year, with an independent study with the stern Mr. Garfield, plus a series of high-stakes challenges coming up. He's also the victim of a series of pranks and mishaps. He figures that his old nemesis Cronah is behind the bullying, but Cronah always seems to have an alibi. It's getting to the point that Roan is starting to believe there's a conspiracy against him.
This ended up being a nice conclusion to the series. Roan showed that he has grown and learned over the course of three books, and his bonds with his friends grew stronger. There were a few fun new developments at the end, and there was plenty of potential for further adventures as Roan heads for his Jedi high school years.
Rating: 8/10
