Upcoming The Mandalorian Books!

Scheduled for release this January is the first official junior novel tie-in to the smash hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian!

Here is the official description so far from Disney/Lucasfilm Press:

Relive the excitement of the first season of Star Wars: The Mandalorian!
After the fall of the Empire but before the emergence of the First Order, a lone bounty hunter known as The Mandalorian travels the outer reaches of the galaxy. When his newest bounty hunting target turns out to be a small Child, the Mandalorian decides the Child must be protected at all costs. Relive all the excitement of the first season of the smash-hit streaming series in this action-packed junior novel by Joe Schreiber! Includes an insert of color photos from the show!

So it seems in one novel, the main events of the entire first season will be covered. That's a LOT to pack into one book! But since neither the Mandalorian nor The Child speak much, maybe it will fit nicely into one volume.

The author, Joe Schreiber, is no stranger to young Star Wars readers after writing the junior novelization of Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Schreiber is better known to adult readers as the author of the most gruesome, violent and horror-based Star Wars novels like Death Troopers, Red Harvest, and Maul: Lockdown

This is not to say Schreiber only writes dark and horrific stuff for grown-ups. He is also the author of several middle-grade novels including Game Over, Pete Watson and Lenny Cyrus, School Virus
Younger fans of The Mandalorian can look forward to the upcoming picture book A Clan of Two, due out in December. As well, the World of Reading series has a The Mandalorian early reader (Level 2) called Allies & Enemies also out in December!


In case you missed it,
The Mandalorian Little Golden Book was also recently released!
