This is one of those books that has been in the hands of my students, but that I was never *quite* sure about. I mean, come on, it's a Yoda made out of origami.
But the premise of the book is actually pretty cool. Social outcast Dwight makes an origami Yoda finger puppet. The other 6th graders ask Yoda for wisdom, and he almost always gives great advice. The entire book is a "case file" of stories from kids who have gleaned wisdom from Yoda, in order to figure out if he is really wise, or if Dwight is behind all of it.
I see why this has been so popular with my fifth graders. It is written in such a way that kids can relate, with a good amount of humor on every page. Well done with such a strange idea :)
