A review by jenbsbooks
The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger

4.0

Listened to this audiobook on May 4th ... May the Fourth Be With You. I had a hardcopy I put into the little library. I remember having this series 10+ years ago, and #3 got into folding origami critters. Fond memories of that. I felt like I had read this, but it wasn't in my GoodReads history. At least not on this account. I have a separate "kids" account (BlackhamBoys) to track what they were reading, or what I read to them. I had read it, listened to it, before (in 2011).

Quick listen - just over two hours. Available in AudiblePlus and at the library. There are some illustrations, but I'd still recommend it as an audiobook. Cute, with different voices for the various characters, each telling their experiences with Origami Yoda.

1st person. Past tense. Very easy, conversational tone ... different voice feel from the characters (even without the different voices in the narration. Various fonts and presentations to make them all separate). It IS very young. The kids are in middle school ... but they like girls (do boys like girls that young?)

4* rating based on what I think the target audience would give it.  It's one I would, and did, recommend to my boys.
