It was kind of like that scene where Han and Leia think they're going to breakfast with Lando. And they're walking down the hall thinking, "I'd like some chocolate chip pancakes," and then they get to the dining room and all of a sudden... there's Vader. (And no chocolate chip pancakes.)
Welcome back to McQuarrie Middle School. Tommy, Kellen, Sara, Dwight, and their old nemesis, Harvey, have started the seventh grade. Dwight's maybe-magical finger puppet, Origami Yoda, has a new nemesis as well: Harvey has introduced his own origami puppet, Darth Paper. And Darth Paper is on a mission: get everyone to admit, once and for all, that Origami Yoda is just a piece of paper. If Dwight gets expelled from school and sent to the Correctional and Remedial Education Facility along the way, well, that's just how it is. Tommy is determined to save Dwight (and Origami Yoda), so he is compiling a new Case File of student accounts of how Origami Yoda (and Dwight) helped them since the events detailed in The Strange Case of Origami Yoda.
Angleberger puts the form established in the first book back to good use here. The voices of the different students are clear and distinct, and there is just enough explanation of previous events to bring the reader up to speed. The lively depiction of the drama and humor of middle school life will delight readers from the middle grades on up. While waiting for the next installment (predicted for sometime in 2012), they can work on their own origami skills at Angleberger's website, OrigamiYoda.com.

I am always a little hesitant with sequels - especially ones that might end up in the middle of a series/trilogy. However, Angleberger really does well with this second book. I liked it as much and possibly even more than the first one. A lot of great lessons in the book without being preachy too. And I LOVE the reference to Robot Dreams. :-)
Not as much fun as the first book, but still a good (and quick-- only three discs on audio0 read.
Agora as crianças estão no sétimo ano e (até que) seguem os conselhos do Dwight/Yoda; menos Harvey, que acha ridícula toda essa história de Yoda de origami e faz um Darth Vader de papel, que ele chama de Darth Paper, para dominar a galáxia! Digo... a escola! Para tal, Darth Paper azucrina Yoda e tenta tomar seu lugar como conselheiro da criançada.
Com o mesmo formato de estudo de caso, acompanhamos vários momentos em que o Yoda de origami ajuda a fazer da escola um lugar melhor, e torcemos para que Dwight não seja expulso da escola (a gente sabe que os gênios sempre são incompreendidos)! Além disso, vemos novamente como o lado negro da Força é sedutor e como Harvey/Darth Paper está sucumbindo a ele.
Estou adorando a série!

I love them. These books are entertaining, and easy to read. Even if I've recovered enough to read other books, splicing in this low pressure book is great for me.
I do believe I enjoyed this book even more than the first one! Unlike the first one, this time there was a lot more on the line. First, I really want to try out the Star Wars game that the teacher described to the students in place of computer games. Second, the ending was what really made me appreciate this book. Most children's books try and set a good example by sending the message, "Your teachers aren't as bad as you think they are, they're humans too". This book sent the message, "Your teachers are human and can truly be jerks." This is a message that is unfortunately true and surprised me in this book!
