Product Description

Zak and Tash are looking forward to accompanying Hoole on his latest project--studying the B'omarr monks of Tatooine. The only problem is, the monks live in the palace of nefarious crime lord Jabba the Hutt. But Hoole promises Tash and Zak that they'll be safe there. The monks are weird. The most enlightened ones are just disembodied brains in jars that walk around on spidery, robotic legs. And when one of the monks decides he wants to learn more about the Force, Tash better watch out or she might lose her head. Online promo.

Brain in a jar.
Zack, Tash, and Hoole Go to see Jabba the hutt for help. While there Tash and Zack meet monks that can make brain transfers from one being to another or into a brain spider. But its getting out of hand.

I just finished reading this for the therd time last night. This is just one of those books that you can't put down. Its got a great plot but i'm not going to tell you the end. But for the people who want to know what that spider thing is craling past the door of jabba's palice in return of the jedi is, read this book.

Too Cool!
I loved this book! Zak and Tash go to Jabba the Hutt this time. And few things happen. This is a great book for kids and adult that are crazy about Star Wars.

Just one minor problem . . .
In the series of these "Galaxy of Fear" books, there is a part when Hoole's ship, the Shroud, was heavily damaged. In "The Brain Spiders," the ship suddenly reappears in prime condition. I think John Whitman should have wrote about how the ship was repaired. My best guess would be that the Rebels helped them. If that is true, than John Whitman should have given the Rebellion some credit.

Overall, however, "The Brain Spiders" is a good book, despite the disgusting title and hologram cover of Jabba the Hutt. I loved the interaction between Zak and Hoole. This story also displayed an everyday problem with age differences between friends, instead of a crazy, bizarre, scientific plot.
