“The Strange Case of Origami Yoda” by Tom Angleberger

Famous loser

“The Strange Case of Origami Yoda” was written by Tom Angleberger and published in 2010. The novel is set in the U.S.. Tomy is a student at an American Middle School. In his class there´s a boy called Dwight who is a terrible loser. But there is one thing he can do well: He makes Origami. So one time he makes a finger puppet of Yoda which makes him the most famous loser at school. Then everybody in school asks Yoda to get good advice in tricky situations, which there are many of ….

This novel is written from many perspectives so in every chapter another character tells you what he has done with Yoda´s help. The message of the story is that even losers can eventually become popular in school.

I recommend the novel to people up to 15 years because it´s easy English and you can guess unknown words from context.
