This funny and fast read will be the perfect choice for those who fell hard for Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The book is a collection of "case files" put together by Tommy, our main narrator. The files revolve around a group of sixth graders trying to figure out the unusual behavior of Dwight, a very dorky classmate that is generally clueless to normal social behavior. They want to know how someone so strange can be so wise when he speaks through his handmade finger puppet called Origami Yoda. Is Origami Yoda for real or is Dwight really some kind of a closet genius? Dwight uses the voice of Yoda from Star Wars when he speaks for his puppet, answering questions from the students, making accurate predictions and giving out wise advise for his classmates. The book is full of hilarious bad drawings that follow the events and characters. The case files share the voices of a wide variety of students keeping the story from getting dull.
For an excerpt, use the story of the Quavondo, the Cheeto Hog and Origami's advise on how to stop the bad nickname pg.67 & 68.
So, if you want to laugh and make your own judgement on Origami Yoda, "Read this book you must".
Recommended for grades 4-6. Directions on how to fold Origami Yoda at the back of the book and on YouTube. There is a sequel titled Origami Yoda 2: Darth Paper Strikes Back.
