The Strange Case of Origami Yoda

Origami Yoda is a finger puppet Yoda that gives advice to McQuarrie Middle School students. The real question is whether the advice is magical or just the quirky ideas of Dwight, the nerdy kid who created the puppet.
Each chapter of the book is a personal account of one student's experience with Origami Yoda's advice. The personal accounts humorously depict typical middle school awkward situations. Yoda repeatedly comes up with clever solutions that readers will enjoy. I appreciated the variety of fonts and the illustrations added throughout the book. These features could very well attract reluctant readers to pick up the book. Read you must...
