"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." — Elyse (5 out of 5 stars)

“It’s a natural step up from the Wimpy Kid series, with more text and narrative complexity, but just as much on-target humor and all-around fun.”
“Based on the positive reception Origami Yoda has received, kids will be clamoring for this sequel. They won’ t be disappointed.”
“Pitch-perfect middle-school milieu and enough Star Wars references (and laughs) to satisfy fans and win new ones.”
" This is a really fun series. My young boys and I love to read them together. "
" Great follow-up to Origami Yoda and I can't wait for the next one! "
" 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. "
" Not as good as the first one, but a nice sequel. "
" 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! "
" 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. ;-) "
" 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. "
" Another fun book to read along with my son. "
" Very funny. Loved starwars and liked it on origami form "
" As fun as the first book. There is some brilliance here! "
" I just want to know what school district offers model rocketry and LEGO robots for electives. Seriously. I'm going to move there. "
" A great sequel. Nice stress of creative process, importance of education and friendship. I'm excited to hear if the kids love this one too. "
" I am still enjoying this series - this one is probably better than the Origami Yoda though. I really wanted to know what was going to happen to Dwight. Good story. "
" I like this one every better than the first one. What fun! "
" i really enjoyed this book, but it did use texting language for some swearing, but overall it was a very good book. i must say that the first one was much better. "
" Just a fun read...the ending made the book - read out loud to anna and lydia "
" 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. "
" A great sequel. A fast read. "
" Much the same quality as "Origami Yoda", but with a more satisfying ending. "
" I love these books! So fun! "
" A really cute kids book. A quick and easy read but it makes you smile. "
" Realy quick read, written in short exerpts to keep 3rd-5th grades interested "
" Loved it! Especially loved the two references to "Robot Dreams", one of my fave graphic novels! "
" LUKE!! I AM YOUR FATHER!!! Darth Paper destroys every thing Yoda did!!!! So sad!! So sad!! "
" This book is great! The origami instructions plus the bonus games are grate but it it is just getting started! Will Dwight's friends get him back to school? Read to find out!!! "
" Great follow-up to the Origami Yoda. Very funny read (laughed out loud throughout the entire book). "
" i love this book i wanna get the strange case of origami yoda! "
" I really liked the book! I would recomend reading the first origami yoda first. "
