Scoundrel, and The Farm Boy is divided up into three main sections, each one about the three main characters in A New Hope. The first section follows Princess Leia as she tries to send the blueprints of the Death Star to Obi-Wan Kenobi up until Darth Vader destroys her home planet, Alderaan. The second section, and the longest section, of the book follows Han Solo from the scene in Chalmun's Cantina up until he, Chewie, Luke, and Leia escape from the Death Star. Finally, the third section follows Luke. Readers catch up on him right after Ben dies up until the point where he fires the shot to destroy the Death Star.

What I liked about The Princess, The Scoundrel, and The Farm Boy was that it is writtenthat any new Star Wars fan would appreciate this novelization. I also think that it would be a great book to read either before or after watching A New Hope. Kids and adults will enjoy reading about their favorite Star Wars characters, and looking at some of the black and white illustrations and colored art work that is included in the book.
