The Strange Case of Origami Yoda

Angleberger, T. (2010). The strange case of Origami Yoda. New York, NY: Amulet Books.
Dwight is a strange middle school boy, who has a way with origami. Yoda is a paper puppet made by Dwight but soon his friends and classmates begin to realize Yoda may possess special abilities after all.  Yoda is suddenly able to predict pop quizzes and help people avoid embarrassing water spots. Yoda and Dwight might actually be using "The Force".   In a series of short stories from kids at school, Tommy investigates cases where origami Yoda was involved.  At the end of the story it was the monthly PTA dance, Outer Space Fun Night, Tommy was worried should he ask Sara to dance or not. Well when the song the twist comes on he didn’t even have to ask, only a handful knew how to dance the twist and Tommy was one of the handful along with Sara.

This story is for 3-8th grades.  Fans of Origami Yoda will probably enjoy Darth Paper Strikes Back, also by Angleberger.
