review 1: In this book of the origami yoda series funtime is destroyed,Principal. Rabbiski is on the rebels side, and they get to go on a field trip to Washington D.C.The setting of the book takes place in 3 places The school,the bus,and Washington D.C.The characters in the book are Dwight,Harvey,Tommy,Lance,Kellen,Quavondo,Etc...This book made me wonder could a group of kids actually take on a whole school system?I know that this book is fake but I mean really could just a group of kids make a difference?I think this book stands for a much greater meaning. I think this book is trying to tell kids no matter how old you are or how many of you there are you can make a difference.I would recommend this book to a friend who likes star wars, origami, and just a good laugh.The reason I wo... moreuld recommend this book is because I found this book to be enjoyable and comedic. If anyone likes star wars and origami this book is for you.
review 2: Origami takes a field trip  The kids from McQuarrie Middle School are back and they are off on a field trip to Washington D.C. They worked hard for this field trip and are very excited, but Principal Rabbski has banned origami on the trip. How will the kids survive the trip without advice from Origami Yoda? Dwight has a backup plan, as usual. He brings lime green fruit roll ups and uses them to make an emergency Fruitigami Yoda. Unfortunately, Harvey brings a wrinkly, hateful pickle, Emperor Pickletine. Is Pickeltine trying to tempt Harvey to the dark side? How will the kids navigate the challenges of a class trip without their origami counterparts? And will the field trip be the adventure the kids expected or will it turn into a total disaster? This is a fun story about a bunch of 7th graders who need advice to navigate the situations and issues that come up in their daily lives. Their unusual solution is an origami Yoda puppet who speaks through their friend Dwight. My son loves these stories. They are original and creative and very humorous. I enjoy reading the stories with him, the twists and turns are amusing. Not sure if this is the last book in this series, the end leaves it kind of up in the air. Recommended to:Middle grades students (grades 3-8) who enjoy humorous stories and school situations. This is only related to Star Wars in a slight way that the origami characters are Star Wars characters. You do not need to know much about Star Wars to enjoy the stories. less
