Anakin Solo is now eleven - and headed for the Jedi Academy! The Force is very strong with him - he can feel it. And his uncle Luke thinks it is time for him to start his training... On his first day at the Jedi Academy, Anakin makes a new friend named Tahiri. The Force is with her too. Soon they find out that together they can accomplish feats that suprise even their teachers! But the teachers don't know what else Anakin and Tahiri do together. Every night, they both have the same dream of going down the river by the academy on a raft. In the dream, they are drawn by the Force...but for all they know, it could be the dark side! There is only one way to find out for sure. They have to go down the river all by themselves - for real!

Lyric's World

Anakin and Tahiri are off on an adventure to the distant moon of Yavin 8! There they will help their alien friend Lyric join the "elders," the adults of her race. To do it, she must go through a strange and wonderful change. And when it's over, Lyric won't look anything like her old self! But Anakin and Tahiri are in for an even bigger surprise. Deep within the covers of Lyric's world are carvings that match the ones they found back in the temple on Yavin 4.

Something large and dangerous. And it will take more than the Force to defeat it.
