#tbt features The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger. It's hard to believe that this inventive, funny series starter is about to turn ten in about a month! Though Tommy is the narrator, this illustrated story is told from multiple points of view. Tommy's classmate and friend, Dwight, has always been out there. Sometimes he won't change his tee shirt and he's often socially inept. He does have a talent for origami and he folded an origami Yoda who has begun dispensing sage advice. Tommy wants to know how Dwight, or is it Yoda(?) can give such great advice. Each of their classmates weigh in with how Dwight/ Yoda helped them.
The book ends with step-by-step instructions for folding your own origami Yoda. Ten-years-ago, I had a student who was a fan of the book and folded an army of origami Yodas.
If you enjoy this book, there are five more books in the series to laugh your way through.
