Bookroo's summary

Tommy and his friends face a dilemma on their Washington, D.C. field trip: Principal Rabbski has banned origami. Without Origami Yoda's wisdom, chaos looms. Dwight crafts a Fruitigami Yoda, but Harvey's sinister pickle threatens to derail everything. As alliances shift and secrets unfold, can the kids navigate the drama and uncover the biggest secret of all? Will Fruitigami Yoda's guidance be enough to counteract the pickle's dark side? Join the final adventure filled with twists, snacks, and surprises as the Origami Rebel Alliance battles for a memorable trip.

From the publisher

The final Origami Yoda case file from the kids at McQuarrie Middle School! After successfully fighting to save their field trip in Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue!, Tommy and the gang prepare for a well-earned day of fun and adventure in Washington, DC . . . but of course it won’t be that easy! This trip to the nation’s capital will be full of shifting alliances and betrayals, carsickness and sugar rushes. Trouble starts even before the buses leave school, when Principal Rabbski decrees the field trip an “origami-free zone.” Dwight secretly folds a Yoda from a Fruit Roll-Up, but will Fruitigami Yoda be a match for Harvey’s sour, hate-filled pickle of darkness?
