|summary=Out of several books I've seen to tie-in to the seventh official cinema movie in the ''Star Wars'' universe, this – and the resulting review – is the greatest source of spoilers. What you get is a surprisingly mature look at the background and events to ''Rogue One'' for such a juvenile book, with some fine stills photographs, and a volume that introduces all the main characters and gears you up to understand and enjoy a lot of the events of the film. So if you don't want to know those in advance, look away now. But certainly consider this as a purchase for reading once you've watched it.

|title=Amy Lee and the Darkness Hex
|rating=3
|genre=Emerging Readers
|summary=Amy Lee wakes up from one of her usual dreams, where she combats an evil pirate. You would think that was the only nastiness in her life – she lives in a lovely place in the Land of Love, and doesn't have to worry about paying for steaks for her nine dogs, nor salmon for her cats. She can go to her favourite tree who will entertain her with a story, and she can go adventuring with her bottomless rucksack, and spend all day daydreaming of a wicked new house for her dogs… Until she sees threatening purple clouds over the forests. And not even in this fantasy world do you want to see purple clouds…
