THE STRANGE CASE OF ORIGAMI YODA by TOM ANGLEBERGER

 

THE COVER

THE STRANGE CASE OF ORIGAMI YODA by Tom Angleberger is about a sixth grade weirdo named Dwight, who creates an original origami Yoda.

This paper figure is not just for show, it can also predict the future. It has helped a bunch of people with tricky situations and problems. This is a mystery because origami Yoda is so wise yet Dwight is so clueless.

Another sixth grade boy named Tommy needs to find out if its Dwight controlling origami Yoda or if Yoda is actually tapping into the force, because he needs to find out an answer to a very important question that has to do with a girl.

This book is filled with case files-stories of when kids got some Yoda advice. Although Yoda sometimes is not the most helpful, example:

Q: Origami Yoda, how do you find the grenade launcher in the Arctic level of Operation Death Rain?

A: Read a book should you.

Q: You mean like the hint book? That costs fifteen dollars!

A: No, a book like The Hobbit. 

This book is filled with funny and cool stories, and at the end off each story, there are comments from Tommy, and Tommy's friend Harvey (who is trying to prove origami Yoda is nothing more than a folded piece of paper).

Thats why I like  THE STRANGE CASE OF ORIGAMI YODA by Tom Angleberger so much. If you get the chance to pick this up, I think you should go for it!
