Plot:
Dwight is not a popular kid in class. He is made fun of a lot and seen as the dumb weird kid of the 6th grade. One day he comes to school with a Yoda made from origami and says that it can predict things just like the real Yoda. It predicts the pop quiz day, helps with girl advise, and solves mysteries of the class. Some believe Origami Yoda is real and some feel he is made up. Tommy decides to create a case file to prove, once and for all, whether Yoda is real.
Review:
This is a funny tale about the magic of being in the 6th grade. They want to be adults and not believe in magic, but a piece of them is curious about Yoda. They see Dwight as someone who knows nothing and yet his Yoda knows all. This book describes the dynamics of a sixth grade class very well and is a reminder that sometimes the right thing is in your mind the whole time. It is a comedic look at life at 12.
