About the Book

In this final Origami Yoda case file, the seventh graders of McQuarrie Middle School and their Star Wars-inspired origami finger puppets go on a field trip to Washington, D.C., on what proves to be a very long trip full of shifting alliances, betrayals, carsickness, and sugar rushes.

Book Synopsis

The thrilling conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Origami Yoda series from Tom Angleberger!

A field trip without origami? What the Hutt?

The Origami Rebel Alliance is off to Washington, D.C.! But there's a hitch. Principal Rabbski has banned origami. Without the Jedi-wise advice of Origami Yoda, how will Tommy and the gang navigate the serious drama of a class trip?

Luckily, Dwight comes prepared with green Fruit Roll-Ups that he can whip into emergency Fruitigami Yodas. Unluckily, Harvey also comes prepared with a wrinkly, hateful pickle. Can Fruitigami Yoda figure out why Emperor Pickletine is acting so sour . . . before the Emperor pushes this field trip into the Dark Side?

The final battle between the forces of good and evil at McQuarrie has everything: Twists! Snacks! Secrets! But who is keeping the biggest secret of all? Origami Yoda himself, and it's a shocker!

Includes instructions for folding your own origami.

Review Quotes

"...Angleberger's characteristic humor remains in abundant supply..."--Julia Smith "Booklist Online" (8/12/2014 12:00:00 AM)

"Angleberger closes his six-plus-volume (there is a companion origami manual with stories) series of doodle-filled Star Wars paeans with an enjoyable, funny and realistic denouement that nicely wraps up most of the series storylines. Age-appropriate boy-girl relationships add to the authenticity of the characters, who will soon be eighth graders. One last time: "stooky!" (Er, "fantastic!")"-- "Kirkus Reviews" (8/11/2014 12:00:00 AM)

"Fans of the series won't want to miss the satisfying conclusion."--Michele Shaw, Quail Run Elementary School, San Ramon, CA "School Library Journal" (11/1/2014 12:00:00 AM)
