While walking through the bookstore my son spotted this book. He picked it up and started to read it immediately. Needless to say we left the bookstore with The Strange Case of Origami Yoda. My son was so entranced with this book he wanted to read it whenever he could. For some kids this is the
The Strange Case of Origami Yoda is about a boy, Dwight who makes himself an Origami Yoda. Dwight brings his paper masterpiece to school and places it on his finger and starts talking in a strange voice. Well technically it's Dwight but the strange voice is Yoda's. Yoda starts to distribute advice to fellow students. When some of the advice Yoda dishes out works, more of his classmates seek out his help. This book is in the form of case files compiled by two of Dwight's classmates. Tommy thinks there is a distinct possibility that Origami Yoda can be real while Harvey believes it's all a bunch of hooey. The case files they put together are the stories and testimonies of Dwight's classmates.
As I mentioned my son loves this book. I borrowed this book after he was finished reading so I could see for myself what was so great about this book. This book is funny. At times laugh out loud funny. Tom Angleberger definitely has a sense of humor and it shows through out this book. It also goes a bit deeper then humor. Dwight is an odd kid. He steps to the beat of his own drum. For that reason he gets picked on. Dwight gives some of the mean kids a taste of their own medicine by getting them back. Not necessarily by picking a fight but by using his head. This book encompasses themes such as being yourself, believing in magic, and peer pressure.
I really enjoyed this book. If you know or have a reluctant reader you might want to give this book a try. It's a fun read. Also in the back Tom Angleberger includes instructions on how to make your own Origami Yoda. My son and I both tried it. I can honestly say, origami is not my thing.

Dwight is a wee bit odd. He's that kid in middle school that says the wrong things, mismatches his clothes, wears a cape because he thinks it's cool, and is the only one laughing at his jokes. Oh and he also has an origami Yoda on his finger that gives advice.

This is a pretty cute book and I can see how it would work for younger tweens. I know it's marketed toward middle grades, but my inclination is to almost recommend it to 3rd - 5th graders. It's definitely a grabber for some reluctant boys but it's one of those books that sorta remind me of an after school special, Nickelodeon style. There's the silliness but definitely THE LESSON of not judging odd people in school.

The Strange Case of Origami Yoda is a fictitious illustrated novel written by Tom Angleberger set in a shool.
This illustrated novel is written from the perspective of a group of adolescents, mainly one named Tommy, who is trying to figure out if an origami yoda that made by his classmate is real or
The anecdotes are mostly humorous and involve experiences that most middle school age children and above will understand. The stories are written with the specific dialect of each narrator, and the personality of each comes out through it well, which allows the reader to easily relate to them. The book brings up plenty of social issues that kids come across in school, such as bullying, redemption, and greed. I agree with most of the opinions the social issues, but not necessarily the one about redemption, as it involves a kid giving into peer pressure when he was not necessarily wrong. However, most of the morals taught are spot on, and there is some good advice in the book as well.
Teaching Connections:
-Discuss whether the advice of Origami Yoda is good advice in each case.
-Help the students consider whether Dwight is really "weird" or if he is just different and intelligent.
-Have them think about people they know that are similar to the characters in the book, but not discuss it between each other
This book is very entertaining and a pleasure to read even as an adult. The characters are well-developed and very easy for young adults to relate to. Some of the morals and lessons taught by Origami Yoda can be helpful to adolescents in times of social crisis. This book would be great for any adolescent student to read.

The Strange Case of Origami Yoda is a fiction illustrated novel written by Tom Angleberger.
Tommy is a sixth grader who hangs out with a less popular crowd. One evening, at a middle school dance, his friends encourage him to ask one of the girls to dance. But before he goes, they convince him to
I thought this was a very entertaining read because of the layout of the chapters. Each chapter is written from the point of view of a classmate, so the views and thoughts on Origami Yoda change throughout the book. This helps with the development of each character. I think the author discusses several themes throughout the book. Bullying, discrimination, individuality, and peer pressure are all common throughout the text. The main character is in a constant struggle between accepting Dwight's strange personality, or publicly denouncing Dwight's quirkiness for the sake of his image. This book reminded me of Diary of a Wimpy Kid mainly because they are both illustrated novels about the unpopular crowd.
Teaching Connections:
1. Let every student make a list of their own personal characteristics that might not be accepted socially. This would be a contemplative exercise in which no one else sees the lists.
2. Compare/Contrast with Diary of a Wimpy Kid
3. Discuss the inner conflict that Tommy has. What would you do in that situation?
The Strange Case of Origami Yoda is a great read for young adults. It focuses on common struggles in the middle school and high school environments and may act as a guide to accepting others. I would teach this book; I think most students would find it enjoyable.

The Strange Case of Origami Yoda was a fun, quick read that let the reader draw its own conclusions about the title character. Um, yes I'm counting the Origami Yoda as a character, he (it?) did give advice to most of the 6th graders who asked. Plus, look at him all Zen like on the cover. Speaking of the cover check out this blog post about all the changes it went through from the initial concept to the final cover.
So, all of the references to Star Wars were a huge plus for me, I can't even count how many times I've seen episodes 4, 5, and 6, but that's not why I liked this book so much. Mr. Angleberger really gets the awkwardness of being in sixth grade and because of this the characters came across as very real. Even though there were a lot of characters, some only appeared for a chapter, they were all very distinct.
I also really liked the structure of The Strange Case of Origami Yoda. The case files that Tommy puts together as he investigates Origami Yoda and his advice break the information (and story) into manageable pieces. Plus, the comments and doodles from Harvey and Kellan were often funnier than Tommy's insight.
I would recommend The Strange Case of Origami Yoda to fans of funny stories. Even though it's been marketed as a middle grades book, I can see anyone from second graders to adults really enjoying it. The directions at the back of the book for how to make your own Origami Yoda are a nice addition, making it a great choice for book clubs or even a class read aloud since there is an activity built right in. Don't want to follow written instructions? There's a video too!
