The Strange Case of Origami Yoda Hardback
This one’s for anyone who’s ever been an outsider.
Sixth-grader Dwight is a giant dork. (I love him.) He’s sweaty and shy and finds it hard to talk to people. So, he does what any ordinary socially-awkward sixth-grader would do: constructs a Yoda out of paper, and uses it as a puppet to talk to his classmates. (Now YOU love him too, right?) Turns out, Origami Yoda knows all: from when the next pop quiz is coming up to who stole the classroom Shakespeare bust. Don’t you love a good underdog story?
This is the first in the Origami Yoda trilogy from Tom Angleberger, so be sure to check out the next two, too: Darth Paper Strikes Back and the hot-off-the-press Secret of the Fortune Wookie. Dorks Win!

That sounds really adorable! I wonder if my daughter would enjoy it, it’s so hard for me to pick good books for her.
TS – I always err on the side of “Try it…you might like it!” 8 times out of 10, she winds up getting into it! (I do much better with books than I do with clothing, however!)
So cute, I want an oragami yoda! I wonder if it says how to make him in the book.
Kristen – I would certainly hope they would give you instructions on how to make such an adorable creature. They can’t tempt us with such on the front cover and then not give us the play-by-play on the inside…could they? Nahhhhh.
