Synopsis

Award-winning author Tom Angleberger's books have been hailed as ''delightful'' (New York Times). The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee is the third hilarious tale in Angleberger's best-selling Origami Yoda series. Dwight has left McQuarrie Middle School to attend Tippett Academy- and he's taken Origami Yoda with him. (Luckily, the Fortune Wookiee soon arrives at McQuarrie to take Yoda's place.) Meanwhile, Dwight's friends fear that he's becoming too normal. Now they' ve got to remind him that his weirdness is what makes him great.

About Tom Angleberger

Tom Angleberger ("Rise of the RoboShoes™") began writing his first novel in eighth grade, but never completed it. Since then, he’s been a newspaper reporter and columnist, a juggler, a weed boy, a lawn-mower-part assembler, and a biology research assistant. This bestselling author insists he’s not really all that creative—"I’m more of a puzzle-putter-together."

What the Fett?* How did I go from being mildly annoyed with this series to laughing out loud while reading it? Thank Jabba* I didn't ditch this after the first book!

Goodreads review by Jerry on October 04, 2019

Just like the previous volumes, this one was a fun story involving origami Star Wars characters that are more than just folded paper. Instead of just being more of the same, this one felt a bit different, but still in a similar vein to the first two. Unfortunately, the author felt the need to put an......more

Goodreads review by Paula on August 13, 2012

I swear these just keep getting better. The current crisis at Ralph McQuarrie Middle School is... how will everyone get by without the guidance of Origami Yoda, now that Dwight has transferred to fancy Tippett Academy? And by the way, what is going ON with Dwight? Reports are filtering in that he is......more
