My Best Friend is a Wookiee: One Boy's Journey to Find His Place in the Galaxy

My Best Friend is a Wookiee by Tony Pacitti is a funny, heartfelt coming-of-age memoir about growing up with Star Wars as a source of comfort, inspiration, and identity.

From the moment seven-year-old Tony hears the opening blast of John Williams’s score, Star Wars becomes far more than entertainment. Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and the rest of the galaxy help him make sense of bullies, friendship, authority figures, insecurity, and the awkwardness of growing up.

With plenty of humour and affectionate references to the films, Pacitti reflects on what it means to embrace being a geek rather than hide it. Along the way, he shows how stories can help us understand ourselves and find the confidence to belong.

A fun choice for Star Wars fans, pop-culture readers, and anyone who grew up feeling a little different. Add My Best Friend is a Wookiee to your cart today—this is a one-of-a-kind used copy, so once it’s gone, it may not be available again.
