Yoda was wise beyond his 900 years, but how wise is Origami Yoda? Or, perhaps more importantly, how wise is Dwight, the boy who wears the origami Yoda finger puppet and gives him his voice? Because, socially speaking, Dwight seems to be pretty inept. He is known for making a fool of himself, especially with girls, yet, when he speaks in Yoda’s voice, genius advice comes out. Could Yoda really be speaking through the puppet, or is Dwight actually a genius? Tommy and his friends are determined to thoroughly investigate the matter.
What follows is a diary entry formatted story, similar to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. We get stories and drawings from Tommy and his friends explaining how they have benefited from the advice of Origami Yoda. By the end of the book, you may be just as surprised with their findings as Tommy is. Boys will enjoy the realistic portrayal of 6th grade boy conversations and interactions, but girls will find fun here, too. Don’t miss the final section of the book, where you, too, can learn how to make an Origami Yoda!
