It takes the wisdom of Yoda to survive sixth grade.

In The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, a hilarious new middle grade novel from Amulet Books, an imprint of ABRAMS, the politics of sixth grade meets the profound wisdom of the Jedi master, Yoda.

Written in the form of a mystery case file, this quirky novel by exciting new talent Tom Angleberger, tells the story of Dwight, a "total loser," who dispenses surprisingly sage advice to his classmates through an origami finger puppet of Yoda. Origami Yoda predicts the date of a pop quiz, knows who has a crush on whom, and saves several kids from total social humiliation. Tommy, one of Dwight's savvier classmates, doesn't understand how Origami Yoda can be so wise when Dwight himself is so clueless. Is the puppet somehow tapping into the Force? With the help of his classmates, Tommy attempts to discover the mystery behind... The Strange Case of Origami Yoda.

To find out how to make your own Origami Yoda puppet, watch this video.
