the secret of the fortune wookiee by tom angleberger

I guess the real reason I did struggle a little with this novel because Dwight is missing from the picture – well, most of the time at least. Though not as exciting of the first and second novel, I truly enjoyed this novel.

The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee is yet another fun adventure of the Origami Yoda chronicles. My Rating of this Book – 4 out of 5 Stars My Review: Has the unimaginable happened? Has Dwight become normal? It’s up to his old friends at McQuarrie to remind their kooky friend that it’s in his weirdness that his greatness lies. In the meantime, Dwight is fitting in a little too well at Tippett. It’s a Fortune Wookiee, and it seems to give advice that’s just as good as Yoda’s-even if, in the hands of the girls, it seems too preoccupied with romance. Then Sara gets a gift she says is from Dwight-a paper fortune-teller in the form of Chewbacca. With Dwight attending Tippett Academy this semester, the kids of McQuarrie Middle School are on their own-no Origami Yoda to give advice and help them navigate the treacherous waters of middle school. (Aug.Source: Purchased Hardback Goodreads Summary: Agent: Caryn Wiseman, Andrea Brown Literary Agency. Plans for a fourth book appear to be underway: as Origami Yoda puts it, 'A great battle ahead I sense.' Ages 8-12. From Kellen's romantic cluelessness and Sara's savvy to some poignant material about Dwight, who isn't doing as well at Tippett as he would have his friends believe, Angleberger shows an uncommon ability to get into the heads and hearts of middle-schoolers, while keeping humor at the forefront. (In one of the funniest gags, the paper Chewbacca's fortunes consist of variations on 'MMGGGGHHHRRRRR,' requiring translation from a second puppet, Han Foldo.) As with the previous books, this story's greatest strength lies in the way Angleberger develops, distinguishes, and humanizes the main characters, who take turns narrating in chapters brought to life with a variety of typefaces and scrawled cartoon marginalia. But the kids still need wise, Star Wars%E2%80%93themed advice, and thus the Fortune Wookiee is born. The seventh graders of McQuarrie Middle School are back-except for Dwight, creator of the original Origami Yoda, who is stuck at nearby Tippett Academy after getting suspended in Darth Paper Strikes Back.
