Star Wars Jedi Apprentice: The Rising Force by Dave Wolverton

Star Wars Jedi Apprentice The Rising Force is about Obi-wan Kenobi as a young boy. Although Obi-wan is a good student at the Jedi temple his anger is a problem. Time after time Obi-wan has been passed over when Jedi Knights come to choose their Padawan students. His 13th birthday is approaching, if Obi-wan isn't chosen by that day he must abandon his dreams of being a Jedi and leave the temple.

Qui-Gon is coming to watch the students but he has told Yoda that he will not choose a student. Something happened with his last apprentice and Qui-Gon is worried and betrayed.

Qui-Gon does not choose Obi-wan (what? I was sure he would) and Obi-Wan is sent away from the temple to be an agricultural worker on a mining planet. On board the mining ship, Obi-wan stumbles into a tense situation and struggles to save lives and win Qui-Gon's respect.

A 7 year old hovers at my elbow waiting for me to hand over this book.
