The Strange Case of Origami Yoda- Bluebonnet Nominee
I skipped school today..,which I never do, but I was really feeling under the weather. Anyway I decided to get started on another book while I was home and actually read The Strange Case of Orgami Yoda in about an hour. I was reluctant to read it at first because well... I don't like orgami or Yoda or anything Star Wars. My son read it and liked it so I thought I would give it a try. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. I was laughing the entire time. The main character, Tommy, is a 6th grade boy who is seeking the assistance of a origami Yoda that Dwight has made and carries around on his finger. He actually has a voice for the puppet. Each chapter is a case file from students who have sought the advice of the Yoda and it either was helpful or was a complete disaster.
I like Dwight because he reminds me of Dwight from 'The Office" a sitcom on NBC. I wonder if it was a coincindence that the characters have the same name and are both so strange? I loved the way he didn't make any sense with his responses, but the students turned his words around to fit their needs. I am predicting this book as a Bluebonnet winner for 2012!
