Summary and Study Guide
Overview
The Strange Case of Origami Yoda (2010) is a comedic novel for middle-grade readers by Tom Angleberger. In the novel, a sixth-grader’s folded-paper Yoda puppet gives advice that’s so good it causes a sensation, generates mischief and mayhem, and changes children’s lives. The first of six books in the bestselling Origami Yoda series by Tom Angleberger, The Strange Case of Origami Yoda explores how an eccentric boy can transmit wisdom that’s startlingly on-point.
In addition to the Origami Yoda books, Angleberger has written more than a dozen other works for young readers, including The Princess and the Pit Stop (2018) and Qwikpick Adventure Society (2007).
The eBook version of the 2015 Amulet Paperbacks Edition forms the basis for this study guide.
Plot Summary
With help from several friends, sixth-grader Tommy Lomax assembles a written case study about a mysterious puppet that gives great advice. It’s made from a piece of paper that’s folded, origami-style, to look like Yoda from Star Wars. The creator is Dwight Tharp, an eccentric, socially awkward, “uncool” student whom nobody much likes but who’s really good at origami. Dwight walks up to students who are in some kind of bind and tells them to ask Yoda for advice.
