| The Strange Case of Origami Yoda |

| Book Reviews - Secondary/YA Fiction | |
Written and Illustrated by Tom Angleberger This is a great kids book for elementary schools, and jr. high school students would enjoy it also. Tommy and his friends are the most unpopular boys in school and then Dwight (the nerdiest) makes this origami Yoda and he starts giving them all advice in this weird Yoda voice with strange mixed-up sayings. Yoda advice really starts helping people and everyone is shocked, so Yoda becomes the center of attention (good and bad) as the story unfolds and the kids wonder if Yoda is some sort of hoax or if the Force is really helping them. Best part: there are instructions on how to make your own origami Yoda in the back of the book.
