The Strange Case of the Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger


I'm a girl and a teacher, so there's already two strikes against me in recommending this book, but puh-lease read this book; you'll be entertained! I couldn't help but think of many of you when I was reading. The stories are just things I can imagine that you all would do! What's cool about it, too, is that it's written from many different points of view. You see, there's this kid named Dwight who everyone thinks is pretty weird, but once he pulls out his paper Yoda, he becomes the talk of the school. So, another character decides to do a "case study" and that's what the book is: a collection of evidence from those who have observed the uncanny wisdom of the gnarled, old, dirty paper Yoda. Read it you must.
