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, he assembles the case file that forms this novel.

It's a bit silly but I liked it because Origami Yoda tells the truth.

I liked this book a lot. I enjoyed how the stupidest kid did origami and his piece of origami was the smartest thing in the school. I would recommend this to others

I liked the book because it was mysterious. It is a case file about Dwight's origami finger puppet of Yoda.

A very funny story with Yoda telling the future and yet he was always correct. Imagine origami coming alive?
