This book is a fun look at being an adolescent and all the weird things that accompany that. Tommy has a friend called Dwight. He creates this Origami Yoda and uses it to start giving advice. Dwight is one weird kid, but he's lovable and his advice turns out to be great! Tommy is only concernded with asking Yoda one question. Does Sara like me? This book is written in the form of a notebook in which Tommy is conducting an experiment where he records anecdotal results from the advice that Yoda gives the kids at his school. The advice is fun and sometimes the true genius of the advice isn't realized until later in the book. This is a great fun read with interesting illustrations that creates a warm feeling in being allowed into this circle of friends and their strange encounter with Origami Yoda.
