This would be a great book for anyone who is a Star Wars fan or for our kids in intermediate school, specifically fifth or sixth grade. Dwight is in sixth grade and known as the weird kid at school, who walks around with an Origami Yoda on his finger. He makes Yoda talk and a lot of people believe that Yoda can tell the future and help you out of complicated situations. Tommy doesn't whether to believe it or not, so he decides to start a "case file" (journal) and have everyone who has interacted with Dwight and his Yoda character write down their experience. That's when you really get tp see what is going on in the young lives at this middle school. Each chapter of the book is written by a different character. Also all of the pages have the effect of looking like old crumpled pieces of paper, plus pictures the characters have drawn to emphasize their story. One of my favorite features was that at the very end it gives you explicit instructions on how to properly fold your own origami Yoda. I thought this was a well written book and feel that kids would really relate to the experiences of the characters.
