"From the author of Origami Yoda comes Darth Paper Strikes Back. I adored this young fiction book, maybe even more than the first. In this story, the kids have to present a case to the school board to save their friend Dwight (creator and voice of Origami Yoda) who has been expelled from their school for seemingly false reasons. It presents some bullying situations and solutions, as well as having the middle school kids reflect on their own behaviors and consequences. It's also funny and heartwarming, with a happy and surprising ending."

Darth Paper Strikes Back Listener Reviews

" This is a really fun series. My young boys and I love to read them together. "
— Maryanne, 2/15/2014 -
" Great follow-up to Origami Yoda and I can't wait for the next one! "
— Lora, 2/12/2014 -
" Tbhis sequel to the equally entertaining The Strange Case of Origami Yoda is perfect for elementary school children; it is laugh-out-loud funny but carries a serious message about friendship and the function of fantasy. "
— Agatha, 2/3/2014 -
" Not as good as the first one, but a nice sequel. "
— Elyce, 1/28/2014 -
" Darth Paper was a wonderful sequel to Origami Yoda. I am pretty sure I liked it even more than the first. The element of Dwight vs. Harvey (Yoda vs. Vader) makes it a fun read. The idea of the plot being all about a case file for the school board to save Dwight was a great concept! Go Tom! "
— Carrie, 1/17/2014 -
" Fun, interesting, and peppered with treats for aficionados as well as casual "Star Wars" fans. Recommend for advanced elementary school to junior high readers. Obviously, entertaining to nerdy adults as well. ;-) "
— Carl, 1/4/2014 -
" The second installment in the Origami Yoda series definitely did NOT live up to its predecessor. I was already sick of the speculations that a folded piece of paper could harness "the Force", and now there's a second folded piece of paper trying to find the first folded piece of paper out. Hopefully the third installment will be much better. "

" This is such a brilliant series. Obviously it's geared toward middle school students, but the clever writing, funny pictures, and the clever plot line kept me turning pages. If you need a good laugh, pick up the series. "
