Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Little Golden Book)
Adapted by Christopher Nicholas (w), Caleb Meurer, Micky Rose (a)
Random House

Liz says: Want to introduce ‘Star Wars’ to the Ewok-sized people in your life? Little Golden Books have created their own series of adaptations of the films for young readers, from the prequels and the original trilogy right up to ‘The Force Awakens’.

The stories are carefully worded to leave out the scary bits, but make for very good abridged versions that stay true to the essence of the films. An iconic series of books (I had loads of them when I was a kid) at a very good price-point (£3.99 per book or £22 for a set of the first six), the Little Golden Books are the perfect Star Wars primer for little padawans.
