Although not as tightly crafted as book one, The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, this is still a humorous look at a slightly strange adolescent, Dwight, and his origami finger puppet. This time, Dwight has an enemy who ends up getting Dwight kicked out of school. But wait a minute... was that the

Disaster strikes Ralph McQuarrie Middle School when Harvey and Darth Paper get Dwight and Origami Yoda expelled for his Dwight's odd behavior. Tommy starts another case file, this time to save Dwight and Origami Yoda from being sent to the alternative middle school. But could this have been Origami

Yoda's plan all along? No way. Right? You'll have to read the book to find out. And for some extra fun, follow the included instructions to fold your own Origami Yoda and Darth Paper. May the Force (and the Farce) be with you! Show Less

"Out of school kicked we have been.""Kicked out? For what, for having Yoda? No way!" said Kellen."Way yes," croaked Yoda. "Save Dwight you must... The truth for the school board you must write. Another case file is needed." Last year, Dwight and Origami Yoda gave great advice and kept the sixth

grade at McQuarrie Middle School convinced that The Force must exist. It's a new year, and dark times are upon the seventh grade... Harvey's got an origami Darth Vader (Darth Paper), and that creepy breathy voice is spreading rumors, meanness and evil throughout the school. Dwight has been suspended, and the school board might decide to expel him, which means Origami Yoda won't be around to battle the Forces of Evil! Tommy, Kellen, Mike, Sara, and the others collect letters and stories in this case file to tell the school board why Dwight should be allowed to return to school. Lots of humor, illustrations, side comments and fun, all to save the oddest kid at McQuarrie! Loved it -- 6th grade and up. Show Less

Not quite as good as the first volume.
LibraryThing member kikotomo
Just as funny as Origami Yoda. Loved it and can see many students falling for the quirky characters and middle school antics,

I've read every book in the series, they're really good!

In the second book of the Origami Yoda series Harvey makes Darth Paper, who quickly becomes Dwight's and Origami Yoda's nemesis and competitor. Dwight almost gets expelled as a result.

Star Wars is in my top five all time favourite films (more specifically, Star Wars: A New Hope, but when I first watched in back in 1978 it was only known as Star Wars). When I was a kid I had quite a few Star Wars figures, I read the books, and I watched the original trilogy on VHS over and over
To set the scene, here is the blurb from the first book, Origami Yoda: "Tommy and his classmates narrate this middle grade mystery, each recounting an episode in which they received wise advice from a finger puppet of Yoda, perpetually worn on the finger of their classmate, Dwight, a loser who can't get anything right. Is this puppet really Yoda? Or is Dwight a bit more together than he seems?"
From what I can work out, Dwight turned from zero to hero in the eyes of his classmates thanks to his amazing finger puppet. However, Dwight's nemesis, Harvey, has decided that he wants all of the attention and kicks off the new school year by introducing Darth Paper to his peers. Darth Paper is the complete opposite to Origami Yoda - mean, nasty, and on a mission to discredit Dwight and possibly even get him kicked out of school. If this sounds a little bizarre to you then I would ahve to agree with you on the face of it, but the story is not as strange as it sounds. It is laugh out loud funny and very, very clever.
This is the perfect book for boys (or girls) who love Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid books, but have read them so many times that they are beginning to fall apart. By all means go out and buy your kids new copies, but why not slip this one in as well - I am pretty sure they will love it. Especially if they are a Star Wars fan. Until recently I hadn't realised just how popular the Star Wars franchise was with today's 7-10 year olds, but friends have assured me that their sons can't get enough of it, thanks in part to the recent animated series, as well as games like Lego Star Wars. If they are big fans then can't lose with this book - like Wimpy Kid it is full of small doodle-like illustrations, it is narrated in the first person by a host of great kid voices, and if you're still not convinced - it also has instructions on how to make your own origami Darth Paper!
I guess I should just add one small word of warning - this story is set in an American school and as such all the terminology, etc is very American. This did not affect my enjoyment of the story, and I am not sure how many young readers will find it a distraction either, but I thought you had better be aware.

again. So when a book called Darth Paper Strikes Back popped through my letter box I could not help but be intrigued. A quick read of the press release informed me that it was the sequel to a book called The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, a book that I was not even aware existed. However, I started to skim read the first few pages to get a feel for the book, and I was instantly hooked.To set the scene, here is the blurb from the first book, Origami Yoda: "Tommy and his classmates narrate this middle grade mystery, each recounting an episode in which they received wise advice from a finger puppet of Yoda, perpetually worn on the finger of their classmate, Dwight, a loser who can't get anything right.

I didn't think I was going to like this book. I read the first book in the series and was afraid that I wouldn't understand this book. I would recommend that anyone reading this book read at least ORIGAMI YODA. I loved the message Origami Yoda gives, but I'm still don't know if Dwight controls him

What a disappointment this follow up to Origami Yoda is. It feels like the publisher just wanted to crank out more of the same, but with a different focus it couldn't work, and it doesn't.

I like this book because it is the segual to The Strang Case Of Origami Yoda. I also like this book because its funny. Another reason is it has some thing to do with star wars. Another reason is that it has funny littel cartoons on the sides. This helps you understand whats happening in the book. Finally I like this book because its seting si at school. so the character have some of the same problems as me. To conclude I like this book because its funny, its setting is at school, it has funny cartoons in it and it has something to do with star wars.

This is the second book in the Origami Yoda series. It was just as well done as the first book; I think middle grade boys will really enjoy these...especially if they are Star Wars fan.
Last year Dwight helped the class with his strangely accurate advice from his Origami Yoda. This year however is a
This was an entertaining, heartfelt, and humorous read. I enjoyed it and think middle grade kids (especially boys) will probably love it. It helps if you are a bit of a Star Wars fan as well so that you get all the Star Wars references.
The main part of the book is a collection of stories from different students about how Origami Yoda and Dwight helped them. The book is put together in a very fun with with different sections in different fonts and fun little sketches and cartoons throughout.
Overall I enjoyed it. This book is put together well and fun to read. It’s really aimed at middle grade boys and I think that audience will enjoy even more than I did.

dark year, Dwight’s nemesis Harvey has created Darth Paper and is sabotaging all the good Origami Yoda does. This book is a collection of anecdotes from Dwight’s classmates who are banding together to save Dwight from reform school. But does he really need saving?

Harvey gets Dwight suspended from school and possibly expelled with the help of his Darth Paper. Dwight gets Kellen and Tommy to write a new casebook to show how Dwight and Origami Yoda have helped the school but they also let Harvey add his two cents so now Harvey knows exactly how to fight back.
This volume was just as cute as the last with Yoda giving advice that solves problems with minimal hurt feelings and positive outcomes for everyone. While the casebook does not keep Dwight in school it does show Dwight's mother that Dwight is a good kid and that he is trying to make friends in his own way.

I liked this better than the first; the plot's a little meatier and fewer narrators make things easier to follow.

LOVED IT. Loved the first book as well, not only for story but also for the design of the book--the font choices, the notes, the crinkled background--it's so great. And if you're even remotely familiar with Star Wars, you'll love the little inside nods to the movies. So, so clever.
