Star Wars: The Force Awakens: A Junior Novel is a young readers' adaptation of the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens, written for younger audiences by Michael Kogge. The digital version was the first to be available, appearing on December 18, 2015, followed by the hardcover and paperback editions on February 16, 2016. The audiobook version features the voice talents of Jonathan Davis.
For the purpose of writing the junior novelization, Michael Kogge had access to the film's shooting script and a version of Alan Dean Foster's full-length novelization.
In 2016, the book was sold in three formats: a standard softcover and a hardcover edition that included photos from the movie, along with a hardcover from the UK that did not have the photos.
Egmont UK Ltd released a new printing of the junior novelization on May 4, 2017 specifically for the UK market; it featured a new cover design to match their updated versions of the original trilogy junior novelizations.
