The strange case of Origami Yoda


By Tom Angleberger 141p.

The sixth grade has fallen under the spell of an origami, finger-puppet Yoda who dispenses sage advice in a way that only a faux-Yoda can. Tommy has been collecting a wide assortment of stories from his classmates regaling how Origami Yoda helped them. But, there are skeptics in the midst. Origami Yoda is the brain child of Dwight who is certifiably "weird" and not known for astute observations or bestowing wisdom. So, it is up to Tommy to determine if it is all an elaborate hoax in Dwight's mind, or if there does exist some divine Origami Yoda power. Oh, and he has to decide fast because his future with a certain female classmate hangs precariously in the balance. A cute, quirky, quick read that may well appeal to Wimpy Kid fans. May the force be with you.

  3. Does this book include Origami Yoda instructions and template? Because it not, I'm not interested.
