Mum: How is this different from the other Jeffrey Brown Star Wars books, because it looks a little different to me? Then he has to deal with a lightsaber-wielding bully who looks kind of like - no, exactly like - Darth Maul. He's talking to Master Yoda at the beginning of the thing, and Master Yoda is like, "Roan, you must be." And then Roan's like, "What?" He gets rejected from Pilot Academy, and then he's supposed to go to Tatooine Plant School, and he's like, "This sucks!" Master Yoda hears about him, sends him to Jedi Academy and then there are all these crazy shenanigans. LRN: So there's this kid called Roan who is going to middle school, and he wants to be a pilot, kind of like Luke Skywalker. How can I say this? And then he thinks, "I hope she can't tell how sweaty I am."
One of my favorite parts was when he was dancing with a girl at a dance at the Jedi Academy and his mouth turns into a squiggly line. It was also funny in a middle grade humor sort of way. He currently lives in Chicago with his wife Jennifer and their son Oscar.
Jeffrey's work has also appeared in the Best American Comics series and received the Ignatz Award in 2003 for 'Outstanding Minicomic.' Simon & Schuster published his latest graphic memoir 'Funny Misshapen Body.' In addition to directing an animated video for the band Death Cab For Cutie, Brown has had his work featured on NPR's 'This American Life' His art has been shown at galleries in New York, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles and Paris. Since then he's drawn a dozen books for publishers including TopShelf, Fantagraphics, Drawn & Quarterly, McSweeney's and Chronicle Books. Jeffrey Brown was born in 1975 in Grand Rapids, Michigan and grew up reading comic books with dreams of someday drawing them, only to abandon them and focus on becoming a 'fine artist.' While earning his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Brown abandoned painting and began drawing comics with his first autobiographical book 'Clumsy' in 2001.
