Darth Paper Strikes Back | October 5, 2011

by Tom Angleberger (Abrams, Aug. 2011)

The force is strong with Darth Paper Strikes Back. So strong, in fact, that I am forced to believe that author Tom Angleberger must moonlight as a Jedi Master to have crafted what is at once the perfect homage to Star Wars while in the same moment a spot-on depiction of the trials of middle school. In this latest, Tommy, Kellan and the gang despair when Dwight, along with everyone’s favorite advice guru Origami Yoda, is abruptly suspended from school. In a last-ditch effort to have Dwight reinstated, Tommy rallies the gang to compile this case file to prove that Dwight is an indispensable, albeit quirky, member of the school community. But with Darth Paper, wielded by Harvey, out to prove otherwise, does Dwight stand a chance of returning to Ralph McQuarrie Middle School? Bonus! Follow the 5-fold Origami Yoda instructions in the back of the book to create a wise (and ultra-cute) cubicle buddy.
