Happy Thursday! How are you managing in this heat? I was smart enough to take Boo for a longish walk early, but then made the mistake of taking him for a short (1 mile) walk downtown to pick up lunch. Evil!

 #tbt features The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger. This series starter was published in 2010. It is presented as a case file compiled by Tommy, who is trying to figure out if Origami Yoda really is speaking through Dwight. Dwight is the class oddball, but when he sports Origami Yoda on his finger, he speaks words of wisdom in a Yoda voice. The case file is filled with anecdotes illustrated by Tommy's friend, Kellen and told from the POV of a variety of classmates, many of whom believe in Dwight's powers. There are directions for folding your own Origami Yoda at the back of the book. This series starter is followed by Darth Paper Strikes Back, Secrets of the Fortune Wookiee, The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett, Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue, and Emperor Pickeltine Rides the Bus. Each book contains instructions for more origami folding fun.
