Long ago, in a middle school far far away lived a boy named Dwight. Dwight is a bit of an odd ball who has a way with origami. It is here that Origami Yoda is born! True Yoda is merely a paper puppet made by Dwight but soon his friends and classmates begin to realize Yoda may possess special abilities after all. Yoda is suddenly able to predict pop quizzes, help people avoid embarrassing water spots, etc. When it appears Yoda and Dwight might actually be using "The Force" a fellow sixth grader named Tommy begins a case file filled with entries and illustrations from his classmates. Combined Yoda and the case file might actually be able to provide the answer to the real question: Does Sara or does she not like Tommy?
Thank you Tom Angleberger! I love Star Wars and I adore this story about Dwight and his puppet Yoda. Not to mention the bonus of having picture instructions on how to make my very own Origami Yoda! While I am not very skilled at paper folding I am sure others (most likely much younger than me) will be more successful making their own paper guru. Changing from one person's point of view to another kept this story fresh and moving forward. The sketches from Dwight's classmates were humorous and often made me laugh out loud. I will be, and I highly recommend other readers, to check out the other books in this collection not to mention Art2-D2's guide to folding and doodling: An Origami Yoda activity book.
