Background
The Strange Case of Origami Yoda is a children’s novel written by Tom Angleberger that was first published in 2010.
A boy named Tommy is trying to find out if Origami Yoda, who was created and given voice by an unpopular and semi-antisocial boy named Dwight, really has wisdom beyond Dwight’s abilities.
My Thoughts
This was a really fun book to read. Every now and then you have to spend a bit of time reading children’s books. I think I will lose something precious when my children are grown because I won’t have the constant stream of children’s books and other media. (Maybe it will all come with grandkids?)
This was a good story given by reports of other kids of what Origami Yoda did for them. It was a little disjointed at times but that really puts the reader in the world of middle school. A place we all likely want to forget…
Recommendation
A good read for your new double digit aged children, particularly if they are familiar with the Star Wars universe.
