The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee (Origami Yoda #3) by Tom Angleberger
4.0
I was a little surprised when I heard that the Origami Yoda series was going to continue after [b:Darth Paper Strikes Back|10803806|Darth Paper Strikes Back (Origami Yoda #2)|Tom Angleberger|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1328766873s/10803806.jpg|15717191]. After all, it had ended pretty decisively with Dwight leaving the kids at McQuarrie for private school. How can we have Origami Yoda without Dwight? Well, in this third book in the series it becomes clear that while Origami Yoda might be gone for now, the Fortune Wookiee and Han Foldo are here to do the job in his absence. And it's still all kinds of awesome.
I could nitpick a few points if I really wanted to regarding the strength of the plotting and the sensibility of the casefile format, but honestly no reader on the planet is going to care about these things. It doesn't matter because Angleberger is so darn smart and funny in his writing. If you haven't picked up this series yet, go and grab [b:The Strange Case of Origami Yoda|7150174|The Strange Case of Origami Yoda (Origami Yoda #1)|Tom Angleberger|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1328813137s/7150174.jpg|7415356] today!
There is a very strong indication that there will be a fourth book in the series coming (I assume) sometime next year. There have been hints in his past books that Angleberger wants to talk a bit more about the school system and its flaws, and Fortune Wookiee and its impending follow-up definitely do/will get a bit more into that. I'm excited to see how Tommy, Dwight, and some Star Wars origami will save McQuarrie Middle School in the next book.
