But antagonistic classmate Harvey, who has taken to wearing a Darth Paper finger puppet, is slowly turning the class toward the Dark Side. Following the format of the first book, Tommy and his friends compile episodic accounts that attest to Dwight/Origami Yoda's wisdom in dealing with problems that range from a classmate with terrible body odor to getting out of selling collectible popcorn tins for a school fundraiser. But Dwight's (and Origami Yoda's) days are numbered, as complaints about Dwight's behavior may lead to his being sent to a school for troubled youth. When Quavando offers to sell his grandmother nothing for $5 - half the price of a $10 tin of popcorn - she’s so happy to not get stuck with crappy popcorn that she buys $25 worth of nothing!Īfter the evidence is presented and the case file ends, Tommy and Kellen explain the rest of the story, including what happens at the school board meeting.Tommy, Dwight, and the rest of their friends from The Strange Case of Origami Yoda are back, and so is Dwight's wise, eponymous finger puppet, Origami Yoda, who has also transitioned to seventh grade. “Sell nothing you must,” says Origami Yoda. My favorite bit of wisdom comes when the class is supposed to sell cans of popcorn as a fundraiser. They learn about Origami Yoda’s perfect non-video game solution to the stricter computer policy in the library. Readers (and the school board) learn how Origami Yoda helped Kellen deal with an annoying brat at the skate park over the summer. Another case file is needed.” So Tommy once again compiles stories and artifacts into a case file, this time meant to prove Dwight and Origami Yoda haven’t gone over to the Dark Side and to get them back into school. On his way out of the building Dwight meets Tommy and holds up Origami Yoda who says, “The truth for the school board you must write. Unfortunately, those words make their way to the principal, and before the end of the day, Dwight is kicked out of school. Dwight, of course, insists he didn’t say it. Prepare to meet your doom!” to a seventh grade girl.

But things take a turn for the worse when Origami Yoda says, “Zero hour comes. On the first day of seventh grade, Harvey, the one person who maintains a deep-seeded, Dark Side hatred of Dwight’s Origami Yoda, arrives at school and announces, “Sorry, this isn’t the year for Paperwad Yoda.” Then as he sings “Bom bom bom bom-ba-bomb bom-ba-bomb” (see movie, above), he pulls out an origami Darth Vader from his pocket.ĭarth Paper challenges Origami Yoda at every turn during the first month of school.
