CSAK YODA BÖLCSESSÉGE SEGÍTHET TÚLÉLNI A HATODIK OSZTÁLYT. Ismerd meg Dwightot, a hatodikos csodabogarat! Dwight folyton fura dolgokat csinál, például ugyanabban a pólóban jár egy hónapon át, vagy "Dwight kapitány"-nak szólíttatja magát. Ez elég kínos, főleg Tommynak, aki minden nap mellette ül ebédnél. De azért Dwight is tud menő dolgokat. Például origamizni. Egyszer csak fogja magát, és hajtogat egy Yoda-figurát. És itt kezdődnek a rejtélyek. Papír-Yoda ugyanis látja a jövőt, és olyan tanácsokat ad, amik simán kihúznak a csávából. Így aztán hamarosan kígyózó sorokban fordulnak hozzá kérdéseikkel a hatodikosok. Tommy ki akarja deríteni, hogy hogyan lehet Papír-Yoda ennyire okos, amikor Dwight meg ennyire lökött. Talán Yoda uralja az Erőt? Tommy eltökéli, hogy megtudja a választ, mielőtt megfogadná Yoda tanácsát egy IGEN FONTOS ügyben, ami egy lányt is érint. Ez hát Tommy nyomozati anyaga a Papír-Yoda különös esete kapcsán.

Začínají se vynořovat otázky: Je normální, že se hádáme? Jak si zařídíme byt, když ON má tak nemožný vkus? Vydržím celý život s TOUTO tchýní? Začnou nám vůbec někdy tikat biologické hodiny? Naštěstí zde máte tuto knihu, a v ní s humorem psané praktické rady pro novomanželský život a užitečné tipy pro řešení vznikajících problémů.

A companion to the Origami Yoda series, this doodle and activity book will include instructions for making: origami Star Wars characters; block and bubble lettering; your own comic book; a Chapstick rocket; Star Wars smileys; fake knuckle cracks; pencil games and much more.

Dark times have fallen on McQuarrie Middle School this semester. Dwight's back--and not a moment too soon--as Kellan, Sara and the gang face a new Menace: the FunTime Educational Program. FunTime is supposed to raise students' test scores; instead, it's driving everyone at McQuarrie crazy with its obnoxious Professor FunTime and his insidious singing calculator! When Principal Rabbski cancels the students' field trip--along with art, music and Lego classes--to make time for FunTime, the students turn to Origami Yoda for help. But some crises are too big for Origami Yoda to handle alone: Form a Rebel Alliance the students must. With this latest Episode in the explosively popular Origami Yoda series, Tom Angleberger proves once again that he "has his finger puppet squarely on the erratic pulse of middle-school life" (Washington Post).

This is the hilarious, clever and much-anticipated follow-up to the breakout hit, "The Strange Case of Origami Yoda". Tom is an exciting new voice in middle grade fiction. His spot-on portrayals of secondary school and the dynamics that exist between kids are realistic and humorous. He's definitely a rising author to watch. This is the fantastic book for boys and reluctant readers especially. Publishers "Weekly" said Tom's writing included 'spot-on boy banter,' "100 Scope Notes" called Yoda 'reluctant reader platinum,' and "Fuse No. 8" said, 'It's been a while since I found a book that can truly be called genderless (in that it has wide appeal across the board).' Lucasfilm is enthusiastically back on board with us for the second book. It includes instructions for making your own original origami Darth Vader. Darth Vader is the most popular "Star Wars" character, their 'Mickey Mouse' according to Lucas.

With Dwight attending Tippett Academy this semester, the kids of McQuarrie are on their own, no Yoda to help them navigate the treacherous waters of school. Then Sara gets a gift from Dwight; a cootie catcher (fortune teller) in the form of Chewbacca. It's a Fortune Wookiee, and it seems to give just as good advice as Yoda, even if, in the hands of the girls, it seems too preoccupied with romance. In the meantime, Dwight is fitting in at Tippett a little too well, and it's up to his old friends at McQuarrie to remind their buddy that it's in his oddness that his greatness lies.

Tommy and his classmates narrate this middle grade mystery, each recounting an episode in which they received wise advice from a finger puppet of Yoda, perpetually worn on the finger of their classmate, Dwight, a loser who can't get anything right. Is this puppet really Yoda? Or is Dwight a bit more together than he seems?
