Waiting on Wed: Darth Paper Strikes Back!!!!!

Darth Paper Strikes Back: An Origami Yoda BookThis is inspired by a meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. In this post I talk about books yet to be released that I'm excited about OR already published book's I've seen that I'm really wanting to read. I also like to try and find books other bloggers aren't sharing so that more books are shared.

I'm Waiting On:

Darth Paper Strikes Back
by Tom Angleberger
Release: August 1

Why I'm Waiting

I loved Origami Yoda - even read it aloud to my students. It was such a great book and fun!  (You can read my review HERE)  When I told them there was another book, they were very excited because they wanted to know more about what might happen.  I love how Tom Angleberger writes - his characters sound like real kids.  So I can't wait!!!

Summary
The hilarious, clever, and much-anticipated follow-up to the breakout hit, The Strange Case of Origami Yoda!

It is a dark time at Ralph McQuarrie Middle School. After suffering several Origami Yoda–related humiliations, Harvey manages to get Dwight suspended from school for being a “troublemaker.” Origami Yoda pleads with Tommy and Kellen to save Dwight by making a new case file—one that will show how Dwight’s presence benefits McQuarrie. With the help of their friends, Tommy and Kellen record cases such as “Origami Yoda and the Pre-eaten Wiener,” “Origami Yoda and the Exploding Pizza Bagels,” and “Origami Yoda and Wonderland: The Musical.” But Harvey and his Darth Paper puppet have a secret plan that could make Dwight’s suspension permanent . . .

  1. Sounds like a fun read. Thanks for sharing about it. And good idea to let us know about books we might not have heard about.

  3. I still haven't read Origami Yoda, even with your stellar recommendation. I need to check it (and this sequel) out soon! Nice pick!
