Bookroo's summary

At McQuarrie Middle School, Dwight's suspension threatens the end of Origami Yoda's wisdom. Tommy and Kellen must prove Dwight's worth to save him, but Harvey's Darth Paper puppet plots against them. Can they outsmart the dark forces and restore balance? With quirky cases like 'Origami Yoda and the Exploding Pizza Bagels,' the stakes are high in this tale of friendship and rebellion. Will Dwight return, or will Darth Paper's influence prevail?

From the publisher

The hilarious, clever, and much-anticipated follow-up to the breakout hit, The Strange Case of Origami Yoda! It is a dark time at Ralph McQuarrie Middle School. After suffering several Origami Yoda–related humiliations, Harvey manages to get Dwight suspended from school for being a “troublemaker.” Origami Yoda pleads with Tommy and Kellen to save Dwight by making a new case file—one that will show how Dwight’s presence benefits McQuarrie. With the help of their friends, Tommy and Kellen record cases such as “Origami Yoda and the Pre-eaten Wiener,” “Origami Yoda and the Exploding Pizza Bagels,” and “Origami Yoda and Wonderland: The Musical.” But Harvey and his Darth Paper puppet have a secret plan that could make Dwight’s suspension permanent . . . This is the second case file in the blockbuster bestselling Origami Yoda series, written by Tom Angleberger, author of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side, showcasing his proven knack for authentically capturing the intrigues, fads, and dramas of middle school in “a satisfying tale of friendship and just resistance to authority”
