It is a dark time in a galaxy far, far away…

When Milo and Lina Graf's parents are abducted by agents of the evil Empire, the children must undertake a perilous journey across the unknown reaches of Wild Space to rescue them – and to discover hope for the future.

In this first full-length adventure, Milo and Lina look for allies on an ancient frontier world – but the cruel Imperial officer Captain Korda has prepared a trap…

Egmont have asked us to find 50 Mumsnetters to read The Snare and tell us what they think about it (and what their children think about it!) on this discussion thread. Go to the giveaway page to find out more and apply for a free copy.

You don't have to win a free copy to take part in the discussion. Anyone who has read The Snare can post their feedback here, and all who post before 18th April will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 Love2Shop voucher.

Don't worry if you haven't finished reading by then. Feel free to drop in at whatever point you've got up to and give your fellow readers your first impressions about the story, characters, writing style.

An interesting story....but sadly didn't hold the attention as I thought it would...so I am afraid this was a bit of a no no but thankyou so much for the chance to try it. Maybe on a second reading the grandchildren might enjoy it more so we will try again in a few weeks.

Thanks for our copy. My 9 year old son has been engrossed in it - not finished yet but thoroughly enjoying so far. Will post his feedback soon.

I was so pleased to get this book as two of my grandsons are the right age for this book and will fight over who will get to read it first. I have read it and think they will enjoy it as it is so fast paced and the illustrations add to the general excitement. To me it seemed rather short with an unsatisfactory ending but I suppose this is so we have to buy the next book in the series to carry on enjoying the story. It is being passed on to the boys this week so will post their feedback soon

My son has just finished this and loved it. He got another Star Wars title with his world book day voucher!

Received a copy on your giveaway. My 8 year old was able to read alone and loved it
so much has asked me to look for others in the series . Great praise indeed from a reluctant reader. I also had a read and was impressed myself with now the story held the suspense and thrill in such a small passage .

Fabulous. My son couldn't stop reading it. Kept him quiet last weekend. Big thumbs up from him! Thanks

Thankyou for my copy of this book..I have given it a quick look through and intend going over it in the next week with my grandchild who is really interested in this subject I hope to come back in a few days with their thoughts as it is a children's book.

My 9 year old can't get his head out of this book, massive thumbs up here, he loves the book & I love the fact he's reading

Mozarmstrong · 15/03/2016 22:45

An amazing and deeply thought full read. Knowing myself how life's history can be forgotten then boom something or someone bonds their thoughts. Please read this and see how your feelings appear again and again.

We just received our copy and my husband and son couldn't wait to dive in. I don't think I'll get chance to read it! Thanks for the copy.

Rae1000 · 07/03/2016 14:46

Delighted to have been selected. Thanks
