I really loved this one, and, I'm not gonna lie, it made me a little teary eyed at the end!

After being relatively unimpressed with the last Origami Yoda book (I enjoyed it, but was not blown away) this book was quite nice. It was a solid conclusion to the series and I think it did a good job of answering the original question: Is Origami Yoda real? The closure was nice. I especially appreciated the twist regarding Harvey and his reasons for his contrary attitude, which legitimately surprised me.

Fun book. Appears to be last in series, which is probably a good idea since I don't know how much more traction the author could get from the story line. As usual, the characters are interesting and funny.
SPOILER ALERT
I love that the teachers and administrators arranged the field trip on state testing day. Wish our schools would do that!

We've enjoyed this series for road trips. The kids have loved the print versions for a couple years at least, and the books are funny so we adults like them, too.
This particular book prompted games of "Made You Look" and even more laughs than usual. If you're throwing a "May the Fourth" party, it would be worth checking out the list of Star Wars foods the kids came up with on their long ride.
Parents might want to know that there are subplots of seventh-graders liking each other and sneaking kisses - plus plenty of instances of the word "butt" - but there's also themes of friendship, loyalty, kindness, and empathy.

This was a cute book that did a decent job of wrapping up the Origami Yoda story, but it just didn't have the same charm or statement of education justice that the previous 5 stories did. Maybe I feel this way because I just came to this book from reading the entire Harry Potter series to my kids (which is just writing and storytelling on a whole different level), but this book just wasn't as fun to read to my kids as the others. This is definitely worth picking up if you've read the entire series, but I don't recommend starting with this book - you will be lost and think the rest of the series isn't worth your time, even though it is.

Conclusion to the Origami Yoda series. I wouldn't say this was my favorite, but it did have many laugh-out-loud moments. A must read if you enjoy these books.

An excellent end to the Origami Yodi series, with one last adventure (the Washington, DC field trip) to wrap it all up. A must read for fans of the series. Grades 4-7.

The conclusion (or is it?!) to this series was so cute and funny! I really enjoyed how everything turned out. Origami Yoda (or should we say fruitagami Yoda?) makes a reappearance, despite the origami ban on McQuarries school field trip! This is a series I recommend to kids often because it's got a good mix of silliness and plot. It's also filled with lots of cool Star Wars references and instructions for folding your own origami Star Wars characters! The main characters are a group of middle schoolers who find themselves at the mercy of some seriously-not-fun adults who try to change their school to make it more "educational" and way less "fun!" I'd read the entire series- it's quick and tons of fun!
