Publisher's summary[]

MEET THE TOUGHEST, most street-smart kid on the planet Lothal. Ezra Bridger might not have much, but every day is an adventure when it comes to outwitting Imperial Stormtroopers who have overrun his little corner of the galaxy's Outer Rim. But the excitement of collecting trooper helmets and gadgets gets a little old when you're alone. And it's nothing compared to what Ezra discovers when he meets the rebels and goes on board their ship, the Ghost, for his first-ever outer space adventure! But joining the rebels isn't all fun and games. Ezra quickly realizes that his new friends need his help to take on the Empire just as much as he needs them to help him tap into the power of his true potential.

Based on the animated television series Star Wars Rebels.
