Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett: An Origami Yoda Book by Tom Angleberger

5.0

I love this series, but this one is my favorite yet. That probably has something to do with the subject matter--this time the conflict centers around the students' outrage when their elective classes are eliminated in favor of a lame video-driven program that's supposed to help increase their scores on their state standards tests. I thought this book did a great job of bringing the issue to the middle grade level, helping to illustrate the conflict between test-driven education and enriching education programs that encompass a variety of subjects instead of focusing on drill and kill testing skills. It made good fodder for conversation between me and my daughter. Really looking forward to the continuation of the epic battle in the next installment.
