I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars!
Summary
This book is a case file to save
Dwight/Origami Yoda. I’ll tell you why later.
It all started in the library at the
beginning of the school year when Harvey had just introduced Darth Paper. Darth
Paper is very evil and is trying to prove that Origami Yoda is a fraud. Harvey is
trying to prove that Origami Yoda is a fraud too- FYI he is an evil guy.
Dwight might get suspended from McQuarrie
Middle School because he got in a fight in book one and got the blame for it. He
also goes to in-school suspension a lot. If he gets suspended again, he might be sent to a
school called CREF (the Correctional and Remedial Education Facility) for the
rest of the school year. CREF is for kids who need special help with behavior.
Now Tommy, who narrates the story, is going
around the school and asking everybody how Dwight and Origami Yoda helped
them. Most of the chapters make a lot of sense, but some of them are confusing. It's confusing because they skip around really fast. I needed to reread some parts
over because they didn’t make much sense at first.
The chapters usually start out as “Dear
School Board”. A lot of different people talk about their problem, and how
Origami Yoda saved the day(or week, or month).
After that is the ending. I won’t tell you
about that because then you wouldn’t read the book.
One theme of Darth Paper Strikes Back is good
vs evil. Origami Yoda, Tommy, Kellen, Dwight's other
friends, Darth Paper and Harvey have been fighting all year because Harvey
is trying to prove that Origami Yoda is a fraud. Another theme is teamwork. Tommy and other
kids are using teamwork to prove that Dwight is a good kid.
My Opinion
My opinion is that I think this book is
one of the best books I’ve read. This book is for ages 8 and up. I think if
you’re interested in sarcastic, interesting, and crazy books. This should be at
the top of the list.

Wow, Cody. This is a great review. I don't usually choose this type of book, but now I want to read it.
ReplyDeleteGreat review Cody! This book, and the others in this series, are NEVER on my bookshelf! Have you read Fake Mustache which is also by Tom Angleberger? If not, give it a try!
