The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger by Margaret Saull - Sunday, Aug 08, 2010 at 3:49pm

The big question: Is Origami Yoda real? Of course he's a real finger puppet made of a real piece of paper, but is he REAL? Can he really see the future and use the Force?

This is the dilemma facing the Grade 6 students of McQuarrie Middle School. Origami Yoda is the creation of Dwight, who is the oddest kid in school, but also an origami master. Origami Yoda appears to give advice that actually works - but how can he be so smart and Dwight so clueless? This is Tommy's (Dwight's friend) case file of his investigation into The Strange Case of Origami Yoda.

I found that Origami Yoda's advice coupled with his hilarious "Yoda speak" to be a lot of fun. The problems facing the kids in McQuarrie Middle School are realistic as well as outrageous. The result is a funny, quirky story complete with silly line drawings that will be sure to appeal to fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Awesome this book is!
