Angry Birds Star Wars II: Darth Swindle's Secret - Scarlett O'Hara (2013)
(Angry Birds Star Wars II)

Genres: Children’s Literature/ Picture Book
Pages: 32
Rating: 2/10

Theme: Good vs Evil

Opener:
“Who is that hiding under a hood?
It is the evil Pig Lord Darth Swindle!
He has lots of nasty secrets.”

Summary:
Darth Swindle tempts Redkin Skywalker to join the Pork Side.

Verdict:
For someone who has not played the game that this is based on, or is it the other way around? This feels like a roster-revealing pamphlet with little segue between pages. The story, therefore, is nonexistent. I had difficulty in even summarizing it in one line. It has pretty artwork though. That’s what the kids want, don’t they?

Another strong DK book. The presentation is as you would expect from a DK reader. There is "scientific" information given as side bars and there are great descriptions in the text. You have to be ready for a lot of puns in this book. Kids should enjoy it.

I love reading the DK Readers books to my son! They are very detailed and give lots of information to the child! This story tied into the Angry Birds Star Wars II game and give more insight into the motivations of the characters. An entertaining read for any Star Wars or Angry Birds fan!
