THE STRANGE CASE OF ORIGAMI YODA

Is Origami Yoda real? Who would trust the advice proffered by an origami figure perched on the finger of the class nerd? This is the big question facing Tommy and his middle school friends as Tommy documents the experiences of classmates who have sought guidance from Dwight’s Origami Yoda. The cast of multiple narrators heightens the story’s humor. The narrator who portrays Tommy has a knack for taking listeners into his confidence. Listeners find themselves in the midst of middle school, experiencing each droll situation firsthand—from school dances to the boys’ bathroom. The throaty Yoda issues his pronouncements such as “speed must you have” or “rush in fools do” with amusing combinations of pacing and tone.
