Tommy wants to know how Origami Yoda can be so smart when Dwight himself. His advice actually works, and soon most of the sixth grade is lining up with questions. Origami Yoda can predict the future and suggest the best way to deal with a tricky situation. But with enigmatic counsel like Cheetos for everyone you must buy, Yoda keeps the mystery alive. One day he makes an origami finger puppet of Yoda. Dwight wears the origami figure on his finger and when the other middle school. Sixth-grader Dwight, whom the other kids consider to be a clueless screwup, makes an origami Yoda figure that seems much wiser than Dwight is. Tommy confronts the ethical dilemma of standing up for the weird kid and the angst of school dances: My hands were shaking and my stomach was excited like the time my dad accidentally drove into a fire hydrant. The Strange Case of Origami Yoda is a very clever and amusing story based on a unique premise. Angleberger peppers his chapters with spot-on boy banter, humorously crude Captain Underpants style drawings, and wisecrack asides that comically address the social land mines of middle school. Compiling a series of funny, first-person accounts of Yoda's wisdom from his friends, Tommy hopes to solve this mystery to determine whether to trust Yoda's advice about asking a certain girl to dance. From another, he is simply the green paperwad animated by Tommy's misfit friend, Dwight, who wear shorts with his socks pulled up above his knees and stares into space like a hypnotized chicken. From one perspective, Origami Yoda is a finger puppet that offers cryptic but oddly sage advice to Tommy and his classmates. Is Origami Yoda real? is the question that plagues sixth-grader Tommy and drives the plot of this snappy debut.
