FROM AMAZON: The Boba Fett series starts here! This adventure, which takes place between Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, follows Boba Fett as a teenager. On his home planet of Kamino, he has no friends, no school. The one thing he does have is a future as a bounty hunter like his father, Jango Fett. But when young Boba Fett finds himself alone in a dangerous galaxy, he must fight for safety—and vengeance. Boba Fett will grow up to be one of the most feared bounty hunters—but first he must survive his childhood.

The writing is simplistic and all of the moral ambiguity of the character is censored for kids--if you're going to do that, why make a kid's book about Boba Fett at all? But the second half the book is pretty interesting in how it develops the character, and it's a good start to the series.
