Join the Resistance by Ben Blacker, Ben Acker

STAR WARS!! Full disclosure, I don't read a ton of Star Wars books (I'm completely unfamiliar with the Extended Universe, for instance). The ones I do read are typically about Leia Organa.
But I trust Ben Acker and Ben Blacker to built characters that I love, to come up with situations that are fun and interesting. The delivered here. Annie Wu's illustrations were really dynamic and a fun addition.
I adored Mattis, he's such a cute and earnest character, and all the other characters were great! I loved the scrapes that they got into, and the ongoing adventure. But one mission sustains them: Help the Galaxy. They get mixed results so far.
And of course, Acker and Blacker end on a bloody cliffhanger. I don't know why I expected anything else. I can't believe I have to wait until October for a resolution. But they'll probably end on a cliffhanger again.
Ultimately, this is a super fun and charming adventure that's appropriate for a middle grade reader.
