May the folds be with you!

I have just gotten my hands on a very interesting book entitled The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger. If you liked Captain Underpants and the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, then you might like to  check this book out.

The story centres on a finger puppet that was created by Dwight, a not so popular kid in school. The finger puppet was named Origami Yoda and eerily gives out wise and helpful advice, much like its namesake Yoda in the movie Star Wars, to the students of his school.

Tommy decides to question Yoda’s authenticity, and gets the help of his classmates in assembling proof, by way of a case file and interviews ,that would try to solve the mystery of Yoda’s credibility. Along with Harvey, the book’s antagonist, Tommy embarks on his project before he asks Origami Yoda the most important question of all- “Should he ask a particular girl to the dance?”

You might also like to try out doing your own Origami Yoda from the instructions at the back of the book. Happy folding!
