In this funny, uncannily wise portrait of the dynamics of a sixth-grade class and of the greatness that sometimes comes in unlikely packages, Dwight, a loser, talks to his classmates via an origami finger puppet of Yoda. If that weren’t strange enough, the puppet is uncannily wise and prescient. Origami Yoda predicts the date of a pop quiz, guesses who stole the classroom Shakespeare bust, and saves a classmate from popularity-crushing embarrassment with some well-timed advice. Dwight’s classmate Tommy wonders how Yoda can be so smart when Dwight himself is so clueless. With contributions from his puzzled classmates, Tommy assembles this first case file in the blockbuster bestselling Origami Yoda series, written by Tom Angleberger, author of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side, and hailed by School Library Journal as “honest, funny, and immensely entertaining.”

I really enjoyed reading this suspenseful mystery book, and couldn't wait to read the next book! This, unexpectedly, led to all of my friends wanting Star Wars origami!
This is one of my favorite books ever! Any Star Wars or origami fan will like this. Any person could enjoy this. With all of its Star Wars references and people who have never seen the movie telling their point of view of the story makes it even better. I highly suggest that you read this.
An okay book. I felt this book was aged more toward 3rd and 4th graders. Certainly not in the age category of myself, a sixth grader. The pictures and short chapters make this a good choice for any 4th grade boy who has grown tired of The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and is looking for a change. Overall an okay read.
Hmm, I read it in 6th grade and I really enjoyed it...
I have to say I thought this book would be super dumb but its actually pretty good! Dont get me wrong, just because I like the book doesnt mean I dont think its really wierd and ittiotic. But still its a lot better than I thought. if you like wierd messed up books than this is the book for you.
This book was interesting...it was about how a kid named Dwight creates a paper origami Yoda, who is able to see the future.
i love this book! it's really funny
is origami yoda real or a fraud can he really tell the future or is it a lucky all the time tommy must find out before he asks about something very important about a girl is dwight's origami magical
I really like this book. I like it because it is paper folded paper people in all the series. But I really like this one a specially because the author does a nice job with this one. You should read this book. Not just this book the whole series. It will be funny.
loved it
