The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger

When Dwight makes a Yoda out of paper and puts it on his finger and offers advice, the 6th grade starts to ask him questions. Tommy is a boy who is compiling the case file of all the ways in which Origami Yoda has helped his classmates. He needs to know if Origami Yoda can be trusted, because he has a very important question to ask him.
Each chapter of the book tells someone’s story in his or her own words usually, about how Origami Yoda helped them. Tommy comments on the story, generally in support of Origami Yoda, whereas Harvey, the naysayer, takes the other side.

I loved this book!
It was so funny. The characters seemed like typical 6th graders and the problems they faced seemed realistic. I would suggest this book to anyone for a fun read. If you or your child liked The Diary of a Wimpy Kid (I seriously laughed out loud!), you will love this! Checkout this list for other suggestions.

  1. I've heard about this book!!! Sounds amazing. And the kid's name is Dwight, even better for Office fans. I'm going to order it this week! :-)
