In this funny, uncannily wise portrait of the dynamics of a sixth-grade class and of the greatness that sometimes comes in unlikely packages, Dwight, a loser, talks to his classmates via an origami finger puppet of Yoda. If that weren’t strange enough, the puppet is uncannily wise and prescient. Origami Yoda predicts the date of a pop quiz, guesses who stole the classroom Shakespeare bust, and saves a classmate from popularity-crushing embarrassment with some well-timed advice. Dwight’s classmate Tommy wonders how Yoda can be so smart when Dwight himself is so clueless. With contributions from his puzzled classmates, Tommy assembles this first case file in the blockbuster bestselling Origami Yoda series, written by Tom Angleberger, author of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side, and hailed by School Library Journal as “honest, funny, and immensely entertaining.”

I love this book

Jiber Jiber

I love this book and I also love star wars and at first I thought it would be all about star wars and I was kind of surprised when I figured out that it wasn't all about star wars but I thought it was still pretty good and very entertaining.

this book was great. It got me into the origami yoda series and its awesome author and website and origami and super folders. It has a sequel called:darth paper strikes back! overall,its a great book.

READ IT PLEASE IT IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very funny book and the rest of the series is good too

I chose to read this book because I'm a big Star Wars fan. I love this book because the characters are all crazy origamis who help to solve all kinds of problems. I learned how to fold Origami Yoda from this book and I'm really good at it now.

I love the series! It is so stooky. I will keep reading

It was a "stooky" book! cool!

It was a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very VERY good book. It was kinda confusing but it was AWESOME!! The ending is awesome. I love how Harvey made his own so he can win a bet against Dwight (The bet was about Sara and Tommy.) I also like how it was about more than one person. Also I loved how they thought Origami Yoda was FAAAKE but really he was really real. He had Magic or he was special or did he had the force? You should read this book! IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW THE BET DONT READ THIS The bet was about Sara and Tommy, Tommy liked and he wanted to know if Sara liked him. So he asked both Yoda's. Dwight's Yoda said "She does you like" and Harvey's Yoda said "She hate you do"
