By recounting their experiences with the folded paper Yoda finger puppet, sixth grader Tommy and his friends try to determine if the puppet can really predict the future. Includes origami directions to make your own Origami Yoda. Sixth-grader Tommy wants to figure out if the folded paper Origami Yoda finger puppet really knows the future or not. If the advice can be trusted, Tommy will win the heart of Sara. If it is a hoax, he will be totally humiliated. Therefore Tommy records the experiences of friends and classmates in an attempt to examine the facts scientifically. Then Tommy and friend Harvey, who is a real skeptic, comment on each story. Part of the problem is that Dwight, on whose finger Origami Yoda resides, is a total loser. There is no way Dwight can be giving the advice, or is there?
The book includes origami directions to make your own Origami Yoda.
