Best book ever. Really. Ever.

I'm on vacation in Cape Cod and saw this book in a bookstore window. I thought it would be great for my nephews (both of whom I've trained to be Star Wars fans). I started reading it in the store and then came back to the room to finish it. This book is an absolute work of art and I plan to purchase several more copies for friends and family. The one I bought today, though, stays with me.

Imagine yourself, a loser in middle school with loser friends. At every opportunity to get the girl you like to like you, it never happens. But that might all change. When Tommy sees the finger puppet of Yoda that that loser Dwight has on his finger, it seems ordinary. Same old origami, same good origami it's the same as always. But when origami Yoda starts to give people advice, good advice, things change. Since Dwight is such a loser, his advice should be bad too, right? But Yoda's advice is, well, Yoda-like. When Tommy starts to think about asking a girl to a dance, he isn't sure. So by putting together the case of Origami Yoda, he must come to a conclusion: is Yoda for real? I think that this book was good. I also think that the author expressed each character individually. I loved how each case file was written in first person by different people. I was really captured by this book. I also think that it should be a series. This book really makes you want to pick it up and never put it down.

Hilarious middle school fun

This good-hearted and very funny book is structured as a series of "case files," compiled by 6th grader Tommy, who wonders if Dwight's "origami yoda" is real. That is to say: is the little origami creature, which doofus Dwight places on his finger and "talks to make" really able to dispense wisdom? Or is it just a stupid trick? In the style recently made popular by The Wimpy Kid, this book is written in the 6th grade vernacular and the margins are filled with doodles and cartooning. This book can easily be read in a weekend, and frankly most readers will be enjoying it so much, they won't want to put it down. Note to parents: Angleberger's humor and wisdom hit just the right note in this book, and if you are over 14 when you read it, I think you'll know what I mean.
