A journalist and fiction author, Tom Angleberger has a knack for capturing the lives of today’s youth. In The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, socially awkward Dwight shows up to school one morning waving a green finger puppet. Strange enough, but then Dwight starts talking in a funny voice and doling out advice. Is it the puppet, or is it Dwight? And will paper Yoda be able to help Dwight convince the girl of his dreams to go to the big dance with him?

What the critics say

“Angleberger’s rendering of such a middle-grade cult obsession is not only spot-on but also reveals a few resonant surprises hidden in the folds.” ( Booklist)

Fun little coming-of-age tale where young kids use a badly-made origami Yoda as a security blanket to get through the trials and tribulations of sixth grade.

This story is about a boy who imparts good advice to his friends through a finger puppet origami Yoda. The advice is always helpful and a little funny. Ultimately this is also a story about how to treat people who are different than you are. I liked it and I think my boys learned some positive things too. Win win.

Fun little story!
