Quick Review: The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger

Title: The Strange Case of Origami Yoda
Author: Tom Angleberger
Genre: Juvi, humor, school
Perfect for: Those who enjoy Wimpy Kid type books


Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of any Wimpy Kid-esc story, so giving 'The Strange Case of Origami Yoda' two stars out of five on my goodreads is still pretty good coming from me. I enjoy the Star Wars artwork throughout the book and love the cover. The book design was really nice, too. If you have a kid who loves 'Wimpy Kid' or 'Camp Confidential' books, plus loves 'Star Wars', this is for you! (Just not for me-- though I'll still be trying my hand at making my own Origami Yoda!)

News: Blogging Authors...

I recently found two author blogs you might want to take a look at!

First comes the blog by Tom Angleberger, author of 'The Strange Case of Origami Yoda'.  Overall, it's a pretty neat site.  You'll find blog entries, along with instructions on how to make your own Origami Yoda and (in the blog) Origami Admiral Ackbar!  Angleberger also lists his tour dates and other general information on the site.  Check it out!!!

Second is a blog written by Kirsten Miller, author of 'The Eternal Ones'.  She has some pretty interesting things going on over there!  Check the entries to learn how to submit your photo for her 'Who Were You' posts, where she explains who you were in one of your past lives.  Miller also talks a lot about the supernatural things that have happened to her in the past.
