Publisher's summary
'''Anakin Solo is now eleven&mdash;and headed for the Jedi academy! The Force is very strong with him&mdash;he can feel it. And his uncle Luke thinks it is time for him to start his training&hellip;'''

''Uldir, Anakin's classmate at the Jedi academy, wants to be a Jedi more than anything. But he can't even lift a feather with the Force. He thinks he knows how he can learn faster: the Holocron.''

''The Holocron is a cube that holds all the secrets of the ancient Jedi Masters. By "borrowing" it, along with Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber, Uldir believes he will become a powerful Jedi Knight!''

''Now Anakin&mdash;along with Tahiri, R2-D2, Tionne and the Jedi Master Ikrit&mdash;must race across the galaxy to find Uldir. If they don't, Uldir could be killed. And Kenobi's blade and the holocron will fall into the hands of a very evil man&hellip;''

Plot summary
Anakin Solo's fellow trainee Uldir Lochett desires to be a Jedi Knight. However, despite his optimism, he lacked obvious Force sensitivity. In his own later, rueful opinion, all he had were good hunches, a whisper-like ability to sense when the Force was being used, and a habit of causing trouble. He believes that his key to being a Jedi Knight is from a Holocron retrieved from his previous adventure at Vjun.

Worse, having being deceived by "Mage" Orloc during the previous adventure, he steals the Holocron along with Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber and travels to find Orloc. In response, Anakin, Tahiri Veila, Ikrit, and Tionne must find Uldir or he might be killed. They must also prevent the two precious artifacts from falling into Orloc's hands.
