Several different fonts are used to distinguish the characters, though some characters share fonts, and all of the fonts are similar enough in style for the font changes themselves to not interfere with the flow of the novel as a whole. The Strange Case of Origami Yoda is written as if by a number of different characters reporting on encounters with one character, Dwight, and his finger puppet, Yoda. So take my review with those things in mind. By the time that I left for the signing, I was so far into the book that I couldn’t very well stop.

I hurried through it, reading nearly half of it in two hours before leaving for the supposed signing. It sat unread on my shelves until I thought that I’d be able unexpectedly to see Angleberger. You can expand upon them, or add your own twist.I found a copy of Tom Angleberger’s The Strange Case of Origami Yoda used some time ago, and recognizing that it sold well and was therefore probably something that I should read, I took it home.

Who is your favorite character in Star Wars? Why? Why is Yoda the most important character in Star Wars? (he is the wise teacher) The book is long and you will not finish it in the time period. With contributions from his puzzled classmates, Tommy assembles this first case file in the blockbuster bestselling Origami Yoda series, written by Tom Angleberger, author of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side, and hailed by School Library Journal as “honest, funny, and immensely entertaining.” Dwight’s classmate Tommy wonders how Yoda can be so smart when Dwight himself is so clueless. 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. If that weren’t strange enough, the puppet is uncannily wise and prescient. 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.
