A journalist and fiction author, Tom Angleberger has a knack for capturing the lives of today’s youth. In The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, socially awkward Dwight shows up to school one morning waving a green finger puppet. Strange enough, but then Dwight starts talking in a funny voice and doling out advice. Is it the puppet, or is it Dwight? And will paper Yoda be able to help Dwight convince the girl of his dreams to go to the big dance with him?

Critic reviews

“Angleberger’s rendering of such a middle-grade cult obsession is not only spot-on but also reveals a few resonant surprises hidden in the folds.” ( Booklist)

Got the first book at the scholastic book fair in 6th grade so I was the same age as the characters. It was perfect, so relateable at the time. Listening to them now gives a different perspective. When I was a kid, I was definitely all "Yeah! The teachers are the enemy!" Now its like... "Maybe some of them have a point" lol Still a fantastic series and I still remember being a middle school boy desperate to know if my crush liked me back haha 10/10 would recommend to all

I asked AI what book I should read and this is one of the recommendations that it gave me. I know I’ve seen Star Wars before, but Star Trek is way better, and I don’t remember anything about Star Wars. Despite the characters saying Star Wars related things the whole time, this book didn’t really need any knowledge of Star Wars at all, and it’s a very fun story.

AI finally did something right

This is a good book for elementary and middle schoolers. It presents an inventive way to tackle subjects and concerns for that age group. Listening to the story, I don't think kids would understand right off that they are being given advice on how to handle that stage of life, and all of the ordinary but uncomfortable things they face.

Interesting... kids liked it

Without complaining. They liked it so much they looked forward to the next two we listened to on long drives.
Story is cute. Its a short one.

This book was the first book my kids would listen to on audio

I got this book on special thinking my kids might like it, and since I've got allot of time by myself at work I decided I'd have a listen. It's about accepting people for their faults and believing in something more. funny and entertaining. worth your money for you and the kids

Allot better then I thought it was going to be

Great story, just wish the reading tempo had been a little bit snappier in order to really bring out the humor. Reading pace was painfully slow at times and the adult voices trying to act and sound like 12 year olds was super phony. Either need to do this as straightforward book on tape with one reader playing all the parts and the audience then suspends some disbelief, or cast like a radio play with actual young actors. There must be some great young actors out there who could have killed this! Fun story though...

Slow reading pace kills the comedy!
