The Strange Case of Origami Yoda

The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger, 2010.
Audience: Grades 4 through 6
My Rating: 4* of 5
Summary: Sixth-grader Tommy and his friends describe their interactions with a paper finger puppet of Yoda, worn by their weird classmate Dwight, as they try to figure out whether or not the puppet can really predict the future.
Comments: Fun, relevant Middle-School read that is perfect for Wimpy Kid fans (though it has more boy-girl crush content than the Wimpy books).
Read-alikes: Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, Big Nate series
Awards: 2011-2012 Bluebonnet nominee
