Description

The Secret of the Fortune Wookieeis the third case file of the New York Times bestselling Origami Yoda series from Tom Angleberger!   Is it possible to have a case file without Origami Yoda?   With Dwight suspended, McQuarrie Middle School is missing its most famous attendee: Origami Yoda. And no Yoda means no case file mystery to solve. But then something BIG happens. Something BIG and HAIRY. It's a Fortune Wookiee, a paper fortune teller in the form of Chewbacca. Sara brings it to school as a gift from Dwight, and it seems to give advice that's just as good as Yoda's. Mysterious, it is!   Tommy, Kellen, and Harvey are on the case. And when their classmates start having strange "Dwight sightings" (sightings of Dwight in which he is acting WAY too normal), the boys have TWO mysteries to solve. The closer they get, the more possible it seems that Origami Yoda will be back . . .  "A chorus of spot-on middle-school voices and plenty of laughs are wrapped around this tale of friendship and seasoned with Star Wars references." -Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) Includes Black-and-White Illustrations and Instructions for folding your own origami Chewbacca.  The Origami Yoda seriesThe Strange Case of Origami YodaDarth Paper Strikes BackThe Secret of the Fortune WookieeThe Surprise Attack of Jabba the PuppettPrincess Labelmaker to the Rescue!Emperor Pickletine Rides the BusArt2-D2's Guide to Folding and Doodling: An Origami Yoda Activity Book
