Can an origami Yoda puppet really predict the future? This is what the sixth graders at McQuarrie Middle School want to know.
It all started with Dwight, a rather odd student who created the origami Yoda. He often just wore it on his finger, but one night at the PTA Night of Fun Yoda made his first prediction. And it came true!
Time after time, when Yoda was was asked a question, his prophecy came true. Could it be a fluke, or is Yoda (via Dwight) up to something??
What I Thought:
This is an interesting book. I love the whole concept of the origami Yoda and how the book is set up as case files with many different students telling their experience with origami Yoda in their own words and commentary from Tommy who started the case file and Harvey who is a die-hard non-believer.
Complete with middle school romance and awkwardness (remember those school dances?) and other shenanigans, this book is great for the middle school crowd.
Recommended.
