This middle-grade novel is the first released as part of the 'Journey to the Rise of Skywalker' series of books.
The story features Poe, BB-8, Rey, and Rose. Rose, by far, was the worst part IMO, but, I can't stand her useless character at ALL. I wish the character would have been Finn instead.
This crew is gathering supplies for the fledgling Resistance, when they receive a distress call from a remote planet. They have short adventure, thwarting the First Order, and, of course, recruiting more people to the Resistance. Time will tell if this was a necessary read after seeing the film.
The best part of the book was how thirsty the First Order is for Poe. At one point, a First Order officer remarks that they'd know that magnificent Poe Dameron hair anywhere. It was hilarious, and my favorite part of the entire book.
  
Odelia’s day of running errands come to an abrupt end when the attendants at the car wash pop her trunk and find a dead body there. Who was he in life? And why would someone leave him for Odelia to find?

From that simple premise comes another fun adventure for Odelia and the rest of the crew. The plots twists to some unexpected places. The characters are charming and wonderful as always. Add in a dash of wit and you’ve got another winner. I rest most of it in 24 hours, and I’m already anxious for Odelia’s next adventure.
