About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

The strange case of origami yoda

A fun light-hearted read, if you like diary of a wimpy kid and such - you might try something like this.

Here's a more detailed write up:
Meet Dwight, a sixth-grade oddball. Dwight does a lot of weird things, like wearing the same T-shirt for a month or telling people to call him "Captain Dwight". This is embarrassing, particularly for Tommy, who sits with him at lunch every day.
But Dwight does one cool thing. He make origami. One day he makes an origami finger puppet of Yoda. and that's when things get mysterious. Origami Yoda can predict the future and suggest the best way to deal with a tricky situation. His advice actually works, and soon most of the sixth grade is lining up with questions.
Tommy wants to know how Origami Yoda can be so smart when Dwight himself is so clueless. Is Yoda tapping into the force? It's crucial that Tommy figure out the mystery before he takes Yoda's advise about something very important that has to do with a girl.
