First sentence: The big question: is orgami yoda even real
Description: In The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, sixth-grader Tommy assembles a case file to investigate whether a paper finger puppet created by his eccentric classmate Dwight is actually wise or just a hoax. Although Dwight is a social "oddball," his origami Yoda provides uncannily accurate advice that helps students navigate embarrassing middle school situations, like avoiding a "wet pants" incident or dealing with bullies. Tommy gathers testimonials from various classmates, including the skeptical Harvey and the doodling Kellen, to document the puppet's mysterious predictions. The investigation is deeply personal for Tommy, who is trying to decide if he should follow Yoda’s advice and risk asking his crush, Sara, to dance. Ultimately, after seeing the puppet's guidance lead to positive outcomes for others, Tommy finds the courage to trust the wisdom and successfully asks Sara to dance at a school event.
