Darth Maul Episode I Journal is a short children's book by Judy Blundell and published in 2000 shortly after the release of the Episode I film. It is one of a set of kids' books released after the Phantom Menace movie that fleshed out the characters' storylines. There was one from Anakin's point of view, one from Padme's point of view, and one from Maul's point of view. This book details Maul's journey from shortly before the events of the movie up to the point he goes off to duel Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon.
As I said above, the book is short (around 100 pages) and a very quick read. Even though it is classified as a kids' book, it is definitely enjoyable enough for an adult. While it is now considered a "Legends" book, nothing in it conflicts with the canon material. Given that Maul was one of the best parts of the movie (if not the best part), and he got such little screen time, this does a good job of fleshing out the character and detailing what he was thinking as everything was going on. Ultimately, it is worth reading, especially for people who really liked the Darth Maul character and want more of his storyline during the events of The Phantom Menace.
