The Strange Case of the Origami Yoda

The Strange Case of Origami YodaThe Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The big question to be solved in this novel is whether or not the finger puppet created by "weird Dwight" really has the ability to give advice that can be trusted. Tommy documents several different first-hand accounts of experiences of fellow students and their encounters with Origami Yoda, Dwight's finger puppet. It seems that in most of the stories, Origami Yoda, really does have some amazing power, unlike his operator, Dwight. Since, no one believes Dwight could think of the answers that Origami Yoda gives, the Yoda must indeed be magical. Tommy's big question for Yoda is whether or not Sara likes him. Middle schoolers will have to decide for themselves whether or not Origami Yoda has magical powers. I think they will enjoy weighing the evidence. Fun story.
