My favorite thing about the middle grade novels set in the High Republic is that these authors don't hold back on having the characters face a lot of difficult situations. Quest for the Hidden City lives up to this and does such a good job of showing problem solving, facing fears, and looking for the good in others. I loved learning about the Katikoots, a cool bat-like species that live on the twin planets Aubadas & Gloam. And getting to see how the Jedi's worked with pathfinder teams to help find hyperspace routes. This book introduced a lot of the outer rim and even has the characters being on Batuu for a while, which I always love to see. I'm excited to see what the next middle grade book in Phase 2 brings to the story!
