The author of the Jedi Academy books and the Star Wars: Darth Vader and Kids Academy series will be visiting Schuler Books & Music Wednesday, Oct. 18.

Jeffrey Brown, a Grand Rapids native and New York Times bestselling author, will be at the store, located at 2660 28th St. SE, at 7 p.m.. He will be discussing his newest book, “Lucy & Andy Neanderthal: The Stone cold Age!,” the second in the series about two Neanderthal siblings.

Brown become well-known for his 2012’s “Darth Vader and Son” and its follow-up, “Vader’s Little Princess,” both of which reimagine the Sith Lord as a put-upon dad.

In 2016, Brown introduced brother and sister cave kids, Lucy and Andy Neanderthal, living 40,000 years ago, which has received praise from critics and authors. Lincoln Peirce, author the “Big Nate” series, said “Lucy and Andy are Stone Age rock stars! I loved this book,” while Kirkus Reviews called it “a fast, funny read.”
