It's midnight and the moon is full, but Darth Vader isn't scared.
OF COURSE I AM NOT SCARED.
Nothing can scare Lord Vader!
CORRECT.
Not monsters or witches or ghosts, and especially not the dark.
So what is Darth Vader scared of?
Read on in Adam Rex's hilarious and spooky Star Wars tale to find out!

I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. My thoughts and opinions are my own. Any quotes I use are from an unpublished copy and may not reflect the finished product.
We loved this! I say we because we read this one as a family. My husband and I both love Star Wars, so we decided to read it together with the kids. I played the role of the narrator, and he attempted to impersonate Darth Vader (it was awesome and hilarious). Rex makes the reader feel like an integral part of the story, and our son enjoyed feeling included. He had to ask us at one point if we were really talking to him, and our confirmation only boosted his enjoyment.
Are You Scared, Darth Vader? is a wonderful book for children. It's also the perfect time of the year for a spooky Star Wars story! It was fun to see Darth Vader out of his element and interacting with creatures in a non-violent way.

The illustrations were amazing, and the story exceeded my expectations. There were a few unexpected twists, and I love that a children's book was able to surprise me! Adam Rex has taken a movie beloved by many, and added humor to a dark character. I highly recommend this one, because I think it's something both adults and children will enjoy. Also, you don't have to be a Star Wars fan to appreciate the humor. It's just fun to read!
