Angleberger, T. (2010). The strange case of origami yoda. NY: Abrams.
Tommy wants to find out if Origami Yoda is real or a hoax. Dwight the maker of Origami Yoda is also a 6th grader. He embarrasses the guys who sit with him. Tommy writes down all the things that Origami Yoda has said and what the outcomes is to see if its real. In the end it turns out fine. Tommy gets his girl Sara and the dance. Origami Yoda also talks in a weird phrases. I can see the real draw to this story. It's set up as an easy read. I really enjoyed reading the stories and laughed out loud. Junior is such an awkward time.
This is a great book for the junior high crowd. It's a fast read and something that would get some of your reluctant reader's interested in reading.
Word choice really stands out in this book. Every time Origami Yoda talks it is different then the other characters in the story talk.
