Publisher Description

A journalist and fiction author, Tom Angleberger has a knack for capturing the lives of today's youth. In The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, socially awkward Dwight shows up to school one morning waving a green finger puppet. Strange enough, but then Dwight starts talking in a funny voice and doling out advice. Is it the puppet, or is it Dwight? And will paper Yoda be able to help Dwight convince the girl of his dreams to go to the big dance with him? "Angleberger's rendering of such a middle-grade cult obsession is not only spot-on but also reveals a few resonant surprises hidden in the folds."-Booklist

    " For lovers of Diary of a Wimpy kid, a funny story about 6th graders who are trying to decide if they believe in an origami yoda. Dwight's yoda gives advice to several students, some magical, some not. The antics of this age group are seen from a different perspective. "

    " I could see how this book would appeal to 6th grade boys. However, not being a 6th grade boy, it didn't do anything for me. Not horribly written, just nothing special. The coolest thing I thought were the instructions to make your own origami yoda. "
