The Strange Case of Origami Yoda is part of a series of books, written by a man named Tom Angleberger, about a bunch of crazy kids at a school called McQuarrie Middle School. (Get it? Ralph McQuarrie was one of the people who worked on Star Wars! The entire Origami Yoda series is about Star Wars Origami!) It is a regular sort of school until this kid named Dwight brings an Origami Yoda finger puppet to school. Now, Dwight is WEIRD.(Like me!) He does a lot of weird stuff like sitting in holes all day and talking to squirrels. HOWEVER, Dwight is really, really good at origami. He invents his own models, Origami Yoda just happens to be one of Dwight's own models. Dwight's friends Tommy, Kellen, and Harvey, (THE JERK!!!!!!) thought that this was just typical Dwight nonsense, BUT, Origami Yoda seems to give really good advice, solving everyone's problems in the school. But Dwight is so clueless! How could a puppet controlled by him give such good advice? Tommy, Kellen, and Harvey (THE JERK!!!!!) have a mystery to solve, is Origami Yoda just a puppet, or is he a real Jedi really using the Force? Can they solve the mystery? Read this funny Case File to find out!
When I was first starting to read this book, I thought it would it be dumb, but it was really really good! I'd even put it up there with the Diary if a Wimpy Kid books! Now, this book is part of a series, as I said before. The other books in the Origami Yoda series are Darth Paper Strikes Back, The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee, Art2-D2's Guide to Folding and Doodling, and The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett! I will review them later. Also, there is a new one coming out! It's called, Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue! Anyway, the Origami Yoda series is great! I highly recommend them, they're my favourite! They are the books that got me started with Origami in the first place! Here are some instructions for a RIDICULOUSLY easy Origami Yoda finger puppet. If you can't fold it, then there is something seriously wrong with you. Just click on the picture to make it bigger!
I'd give The Strange Case of Origami Yoda 4 out of 5 stars! YAY!!!!!!
