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 originally thought this book was trash and an easy read; it was easy, but I was hooked right from the start! I don't know, but there seems to be some kind of addicting thing embedded into the cool fonts and funky drawings. Plus, you get the credit for reading while enjoying a good book! perfect for fans of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, origami fans, and Star Wars enthusiasts. (Actually, I read these books BEFORE I saw Star Wars- Strange, huh?)
