This book wasn’t as fast a read through as your average children’s book due to being a DK reader. I read the end pages describing accurate and really wonderful ways parents can interact to help their children to learn to read, sound out and learn the different and new words, and use the different fact files as well as supportive commentary and compliments to help boost their child’s confidence. That entire section is definitely research tested and from the point of view of a girl who was a large reader from early on due to great encouragement from my parents, I think some if not all of those key strategies would work great on todays kids, and we definitely need more parents willing to do those things to actually help their children rather than ignore them. Some of the strategies may be overkill to me or would’ve been when I was a kid but that’s just me personally and does not reflect every other kid out there, especially kids nowadays. I like the gloss of the pages and I think they smell great. The pages have beautiful full color designs with pictures and images directly from the Force Awakens movie. The center subject of this book is a fan favorite character for many and a great inspiration for kids nowadays, especially young females, named Rey. We obviously find out much more of Rey’s story in the next two movies after this book was published. I think the book accurately describes and emphasizes how hard and difficult Rey’s lifestyle was living all alone from a young age and tirelessly working hard everyday in a rough environment at a difficult job just to survive in the basics and earn food to eat. I find I relate to Rey in many ways in her character’s emotions, feelings and drive to survive everyday, and I feel this book accurately represents that for people who may not understand that at the time in their lives so young. I also found out facts about Rey that even I did not know at the time; and I know a lot about Star Wars, trust me. Two of the facts I learned that I didn’t know for certain included Rey’s age and Rey’s height, which I found in a fact file blurb. I happily found out that I related directly to both in the fact that I am the same height and current age as one of my favorite fictional characters. That is extremely inspiring to me in a silly way. I believe the layout of the book with the fact files and blurbs is really cute and makes it interesting to read on. I enjoy how large the text is so that it’s easy to see and easy to read. I think that the book has a hopeful, uplifting and inspiring ending leading off to the hopeful change in Rey’s difficult life leading up to better days in her time and happiness and joy, hopefully finding belonging and family, caring people to surround her (which if we watch the movies later we know she does end up finding eventually). I also liked about the book that it included a question section, the questions were easy enough for me to answer off the top of my head and were worded wide and broad enough that any general combination of words related to the direct answer is a good and correct answer. I also like how the answers to these questions were not simply on the next page so that you may accidentally see them and flip to them before finishing all the questions in your head rather they were placed many pages after and in a small, unnoticeable box at the bottom of the page. The answers were general enough as well so that with any combination of related words you had come up with in your head as your answer was correct and made you feel accomplished for answering them correctly off the top of your head. I also like how DK books are separated by level, I think that makes them great for sorting into categories on a bookshelf or collection, especially with the colored spine versions of them. The rows of the same levels look nice and organized in a straight line. I think accomplishing all the levels of Star Wars books would be a great goal for anybody, including me. I have rated this book 3 stars only due to the fact that I would not like to pick it up again for a full reread. I think it’s a one time read for me, however I will be keeping it in the collection as a treasured collectible for my book collection. Overall I loved this book, all of its subjects, and I think it was a great overlay of all of Rey’s life and skills that we knew about in the Force Awakens.
