A kid's book retelling the movie from Finn's point of view. Doesn't vary from the movie because it can't. Gives a bit of additional background about Finn.

Cool for young, new Star Wars fans. I'd say first to third grade or so, depending on reading skill.

Picked this up because Finn’s my favorite character and I wanted a lot more of him because TLJ didn’t have a ton.

This was pretty great! For a young reader, it was pretty detailed with Finn’s life in the First Order. Finn has such an interesting backstory and I’m praying JJ will finally get the chance to elaborate more on that in Ep 9.

This is pretty much TFA from Finn’s point of view and has some little details about the daily life of Stormtroopers that the film doesn’t have. For instance, it actually goes into some specifics of Finn’s 3 friends: Nines, Zeroes and Slip.

Definitely a recommend if you like Finn as a character. It takes like 20 minutes to read. If that!

A nice junior version of the story from Finn's point of view. My one hangup is that it ends on a bit of a dark note given that Finn is knocked out by Kylo Ren as per the story of the movie and there isn't any further clarification of if he's okay.
